    I use rain water. Last water change (about 60%) was on the 2nd March. Had a 10% change about a week ago. Excel dosage every second day or so.Dosed Seachem Paraguard tonight after I noticed the red gills. Should I quarantine him asap?

    I honestly have no idea.

    So we have the gill is inflamed and red on the one side.
    What other symptoms or behaviors have you noticed from the fish?

    Is it acting normally?
    is it just lying there?
    Gasping for air?
    etc etc.

    Also, I think at this point, knowing your water parameters would definitely help.

    Ammonia, Nitrates and Nitrites.

    Hey there unfortunately have no info on water parameters. Did water changes recently. Other wise normal, eating and swimming around with his fellow SAE's. No gasping, and lively like normal.
