Hello There
Can anybody help I moved two jade perch yesterday into a larger tank and this one is dying or even dead as I type this.
These discoloured patches were not there before the move.

Hi,

Do you use chlorinated water? what is your ammonia readings?


Mark

I use Bore water and ammonia is 0.
I am starting to think it was the temperature difference, it was about 4 to 6 degrees hotter in the tank he went into my mistake for not checking first.

Is it just the one fish with the markings, or do the others have it too? Even to a lesser degree?

If you're thinking about the large pale blotchy markings, in my experience they are caused by the fish pressing against something. They develop over an hour or 2 of being pressed against the bottom of the tank, or other fish in an esky.

Yes the two Jade perch were leaning against each other in the corner for a short while.
I will check the other Jade he is alive but hiding. and has been since that day.
Thanks Gungagulla
