This is occasionally confused with fish tuberculosis, a disease that can be passed on to humans. When a zebra danio is nearing the end of its typically two year lifespan, there will be a moderate to severe curvature of the spine. If the tail is bent dosn't mean fish tb its the bloating that causes it.
Swim bladder - fish can look like the tail weighing them down in the water.ĭropsy the fish tail can bend, also sometimes have a red inflamed swollen anus. Thanks for your time, sorry to write so much!!ĭo a search zebra danio are quite know for fish tb but its very hard to say fish tb without test.īent spines can mean old age, fish tb to internal parasites, fish can be born with bent spines like livebearers. In my experience fish go from ill to dead very quickly, and this one hasnt.Ĭan anyone advise me on whether I've done the right thing, or whether I'm missing something?
#Zebra danios skin#
It hasnt really made any difference, and given the time frame and the lack of skin problems I've assumed that the fish is ok to go back in the main tank. I separated the danio into a separate small quarantine tank for a while and gave it a small dose of aquarium salt and a swimbladder treatment (I had to try something) as per the instructions for the tank size of 1 pipette per day for 4 days and then leaving alone for 4 days - I did this through one 8-day cycle. It is eating normally and is quite agile when chased etc. There are no spots/marks on the skin, and in fact the fish looks very healthy aside from that. It looks a bit bloated, but could be bearing eggs. All water levels are showing as normal.Īnyway, the reason for this post is that I noticed about 10 days ago that one of my zebra danios was dropping a lot at the tail and wasnt swimming normally.
danios prefer groups larger than 3) and havent restocked due to the baby guppies. We suffered some unrelated losses about 2 months ago which explains the unusual numbers (i.e. I've got 2 zebra danios, 1 spotted danio, 1 bronze corydora, 5 neon tetras, 3 blue rainbow, 2 clown loach, 1 guppy and an ursery net containing 7 baby guppies (about 8 weeks old) and 10 shrimp. I've got a Scenic 80 tank (http /which has a number of small community fish in it. I'm not sure if this counts as an 'emergency' so apologise if I've posted it in the wrong place. Hi everyone, I'm very new to this forum, and to keep fish (about 7 months experience).
