Hey all
Egon is not in a good way. It's stupidly hot in Brisbane and even though we bought him an airconditioner, it seems to not be enough to stop him from being visibly stressed all the time. He's in the fridge now, but his gills are shrinking and his fin is receding. That seems to have slowed down since putting him in the fridge about 5 days ago, but his beautiful white colour is really red and blotchy! It started subtly a month ago but it's getting worse in the fridge. I've scoured all the threads about skin problems, but it doesn't look like fungus - seems to be more internal.
We really can't work it out! Has anyone seen this before? I'm going to try Melafix tonight and start salt baths tomorrow, but I'm stumped. Chemical levels are all fine.
Thanks!
