Hi Everyone,
My black axie half gills has a sort of infection on his gills that I am a bit worried about.
I recently changed filters around, taking out my box filter and replacing it with a small power filter. This caused a bit of a water quality problem I think and Ive returned my old box filter to the tank and it is clearing up but the water is still quite cloudy. Ive been thinking about buying some ammonia and nitrate kits when I have time. My other axie Bronzski is quite ok however his gills have shrunk a bit hoever there is no fluff. Ive been thinking that it may have been caused by the flow and stress from the power filter, though I did have a spray bar however it caused a slight current.
Anyway I would like to hear peoples opinion on what it may be. The black axie ate some beef heart and a worm however I think he regurgiated the meat so Ill leave them from feeding for a while so the water can clear up, and in the meantime I am doing small water changes to improve its quality. I am not an expert on aquarium cycling like some people however i have kept axies for long periods before and most of the trouble happened during hot weather whcih we are definelty not expereincing now it winter
Sorry about the pic quality i will try and get some better pics of him when the light in the room gets a bit brighter.
Cheers,
Peter :happy:
