Hi, I am really stumped and hoping someone can help.
My adult female has lost the majority of gill feathers on the middle 'stem'. She is eating well (earth worms and blood worms for occasional treats) swimming around and generally looks fine.
The water parameters are good:
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 20
Nitrite 0
pH 7.2
Temperature 19 c
There have been no changes made in the tank and my other two adult males are fine and no signs of losing gills. I have had all three for about a year after adopting them from a friend.
I have read previous threads about this on here but haven't been able to find an answer.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, should I be worried and what is the best course of action?
I have attached a photo of Bette to see the loss.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
