Well two days ago i walked past my tank to find that my L-200 was on its back and had very laboured breathing so i immediatley checked my params to see if that was the problem! Nope everything was normal (i would have listed params but i threw out the test strip) There was no fighting or battle wounds on him or anything that would have alarmed me exept some little orangey red dots just above his stomach! They didn`t rub off or anything! One thing i wondered was that it might have been old age? we bought him full grown so could that be it? No other fish have been showing signs of stress or anything. I`ll be happy to provied any additional info needed.
Thanks

Personally I would start by getting a good liquid test kit.. Paper strips are inaccurate at best.
