I’ve had my ropefish since November. Overall he’s done pretty well. I fed him primarily tilapia as that’s the only thing he want to eat for the most part. I recently switched to cod. The last few days I’ve noticed he was acting rather strange. Choosing to float around at the top of the tank rather than hide like he usually does. I did take out his primary hide recently as rotten fish was getting stockpiled in there and causing ammonia spikes. He has a secondary hide.
today he’s in dire straits. His tip half is floating upward and he’s gasping.
I had some stowaway snails come in on a shipment of water lettuce that have propagated as well as some brown algae that’s been hell to get rid of. I’m worried he may have eaten a snail? I just did a 70% water change so water parameters should be okay? I had a liquid test kit I recently loaned to a “friend” who won’t return it. (Protip: dont loan out expensive liquid test kits because you’ll never get them back).
