L10a die off

Post by SLIMESLAYER10 »

woke up to all but one of my L10a's dead. i water changed the day before and put in some prazipro but they have never shown weakness to meds. (my green phantom and a few bristle nose were looking like they had parasites) none of the L10a's had sunken belly's or white poop though, i cut open 2 of the females that had swollen bellys and they had tones of eggs in them so they could have been egg bound but this dosnt explain the males i lost. the tanks airstone fell out at night and fish were brething a bit fast in the morning but nowhere close to dying, i think. any ideas? the one living one was transferred to a different tank.

Wow that sucks. Do you know if L10a are sensitive to PraziPro specifically? Any chance of hypoxia due to airstone loss? What about other fish in tank? How are they doing?

ive never heard of L10 a or anything really being sensitive to prazi. hypoxia maybe but no other fish are dead or dying. every other fish is fine... even breeding. i would think the wild L200 would die of hypoxia before the captive L10a's but maybe there really sensitive to that sorta thing. i found 1 more female and put here in another tank, i just hope i can save the 2 at least.
