Hey guys
Got an albino female that seems to be in a bit of strife
Was a very healthy active little breeder til about a week ago

Sockets around eyes are red
Her snout is very red as opposed to her usual whiteness
Belly is colourless and shrunken
Not eating
Bearly moving

All the other bnose in the tank are active as ever
Just her.

Parameters
180L
1000L filter 3corners 1 sponge
25deg
Ph7.3

Mainly bnose, a couple of platies and shrimp in tank aswell.

Fed
Zucchini
Wafers
Cucumber
Peas deshelled

Not really sure how to treat her?
Stresszyme?

Cheers for any help in advance

without any major indication of what is going on I would suggest just the Pima and Mela combo...Sounds like she is ill in a non-treatable way Sad

you could try moving her to a tank and raising temperature to 32 for 5 days like described in one of kfenks posts worked for me on a female pepp that was on deaths door and not eating.

I think you need to do it up to 33 but really need a separate tank

if it was worms then the whole tank would be infected

and generally they are quite a visible disease
