Hello,
My fish seems to be going into a brief fit.
He'll suddenly stop swimming, lie on the bottom of the tank with his mouth closed and have heavy gill movement. During this time, he'll go into his stressed coloration and he be pale and blotchy. He is very active during other times and has brilliant coloration with no spots or nothing.
Last time he did this he did it for around an hr, then was fine.
He does seem to "sleep" more than my other fish.
It'll take him around 30mins after lights come on until he wakes up and starts swimming around.
I am fighting a little bit of a Nitrate spike atm (20ppm), but the previous time this happened the nitrates were low for me (10ppm).
Nitrite and Ammonia are 0.
He was quarantined for 2 weeks with Prazi-pro and given 2 treatments.
He's been in the tank for 2 weeks.
The only thing I can think of that I can compare it to... I also own a Springer Spaniel. Occasionally she has a "fit"... basically like epilepsy. Can fish have the same condition?
If not what do you think this could be?
