Hi:
Was recommended to this board & hope you can offer some assistance. I have a heavily planted 29 gallon tank that has been set up for 7 months. There are 5 glowlight tetras & some pond snails in the tank. Since last night, one of the tetras has been hanging at the top of the tank in the corner. He appears to be breathing a little quckly. I see no signs of fungus or injury, although it does look as if he is "pineconing" a bit. I'm going to get the fish into a QT today, but am wondering if there is anything I can be treating with. Several months ago I did have a bacterial problem in this tank & lost 4 tetras & 6 cories. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Here is the info from ER sheet:
