Hi bus,
[b]Analysis
When your fish keeps going to the surface for air, this
usually means that it is being affected by
gill disease. When a fish gets affected by gill
disease, it is unable to gather oxygen from the water, which
explains why it has to keep going to the surface for air.
Unecessary
Action
When you add yellow/blackwater to the water, it only makes the
water 'softer', and does not help solve gill disease. In Singapore,
yellow/blackwater is pretty much unecessary because Singapore's
water is already 'soft' enough.
Solution
What you should have done is:
- Don't change water
- Put one/two drops of PP Medicine (Potassium Permaganate, or
otherwise known as a medicine for gill disease) daily *edit:
available at Rainbow and probably other aquarium shops
- Change 10% of water daily
- Keep doing the above until the fish's condition gets better
Hope this helps if your other fishes have the same problem
again![/b][/b]
