Re: Red blotch on Kuhli

I did a similar thing long ago... I dumped 6 danios in a tank to cycle it...
before I knew what and how to do it correctly.... And I too ended up with
danios with red spots behind their gills... Asked some smart ppl and was
told that is ammonia burn...  and that because my water wasn't cycled, the
ammonia burned their gills... I asked whatelse can cause this, they listed
the sudden change in water chemistry, nitrIte and ammonia are the number 1
reasons, but if you re-arranged the tank, ammonia spike is possible...
