For the past couple of weeks, one of my Tamasaba has been laying face down all the time and occasionally doing what appears to be like slow-motion "flashing".
Netted him out of the Koi pond today and currently in a 10 gallon hospital tank. I just started a shotgun treatment(Proform C & Prazi) to see if that'll help. I also have some elbagin on hand.
Is this parasitical, bacterial, or just an issue with buoyancy?
Being in a Koi pond, he's been having difficulty chasing floating pellets with all the rivals and seems to stop eating when I switched to a sinking type(different brand)
Please don't mind the red veining in the tail as it has always been like that and this behavior only started recently. Purchased over a year ago.
PS: During the move, I noticed the head appears to be a bit "bubbly" like a Ranchu...is this normal on a Tamasaba? Breeders is Yamacho Koi Farm(Chogoro)
