I have 2 parrot fish, about 2+ yrs old. I had noticed that 2 nights ago, one of them was opeining its gills alot. The next morning, she was at the top not acting right. She won't eat...and she seems to be struggling ...her gills are expanding very large and it is very RED..kind of bloody looking... I did a water change and added more aq. salt....any ideas of what this could be??? The other parrot seems to be normal, but really bothering the other one. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions . Thanks! Sponsored links

This can be: gills worms. These worms are deadly and you should go to the nearest store and buy some strong antibiotics in order to help the fish. the developer of http://www.aqua-fish.net Yes, I am very busy. So accept my apologies since I cannot visit this forum too much. But I'll do my best because I own this website .

Antibiotics are almost all the same. Just ask the seller. Gill worms are contageious. the developer of http://www.aqua-fish.net Yes, I am very busy. So accept my apologies since I cannot visit this forum too much. But I'll do my best because I own this website .

I'd strongly advise you to put that parrot into a hospital tank so it doesn't spread to your other fish, these type of sicknesses are very deadly and can spread to all your fish! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We carry a huge variety of tropical/exotic fish at our store and have been serving San Diego for over 20 years!

gill worms are extremely contagious, I have always had great sucess with Protozin for clearing these up , but as posted remove the infected fish into a quarantine tank and treat seperately. http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk
