So one of my albino's is acting like he has SBD.
He's keeps floating to the top of the tank, sometimes he's upside down, sometimes he's on his side.
It also seems like he's having a hard time breaking the surface to get air.
He's able to swim down but just ends up floating back up after he tries to rest.
I first noticed symptoms about an hour ago, he was stuck to the filter, I have since moved him to a .75 gallon QT.
His normal home is::
26 gallon tank
Tank mates: 5 other cories, 6 betta females, a couple of ghost shrimp, and a couple ramshorn snails.
Temperature stays at a constant 79*
He eats API bottom feeder tablets, Hikari Algea tablets on occasion, and whatever pellets the bettas dont eat.
He's normally very active and glass surfs nearly al day long.
30%+ water changes 1-2x/week
My parameters are::
pH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
--Dont have a test for the rest--
I did add a new aquaclear filter to the tank last week (with old seeded media from the same tank) and so my tank is having a bacterial bloom right now if that makes a difference.
Other than that nothing new has been added to this tank in over 2 months. I finished treating for columnaris in my betta's about a week before christmas and havent had any disease or deaths since then.
Can somebody please help me figure out whats going on, if its not SBD?
And can somebody help me treat it! All I know about cories is that their salt tolerance is poor.
