Hi,
My juvnile blue koran is twitching. It started when I moved the sand around. The water became cloudy for about 30 mins. Can anybody tell me what might be wrong with him?
Thanks in advance,
Sun

I don't think it has anything to do with the sand. Something is irritating him, possibly parasites. How long have you had him? Do you see any spots on him?

I have only had him for about one month. He is about 3 to 4 inches long. The only thing I see is that the color is slightly whiter/lighter in the middle of his body. Don't see any white spots. In general he's not twighting as much now compare to last night. I also notice he'll stay at the corner of the tank by himself were as before he would swim around.

Watch for "glancing". Twitching alone is hard to diagnose, but you need to look for other symptoms. Think of the way a dog will try to rub their back against a corner of the wall to itch it. Fish plagued by parasites will do something similar called glancing. If you see the fish slowly approach the rock or sand and then quickly brush up against it with their body then he almost certainly has some kind of parasite.

Thanks, I'm new at this so sorry for all the questions. If he does have a parasite, how do I get rid of it? Also, I only have one tank, do I need to isolate him or do I put the medicine in the whole tank?
Thanks again for all your help.

This sucks. All my fish now have white spots. I'm going to try and setup a QT tank and isolate all the fishs. Not sure if its going to work but I tried Kick Ich and its not getting any better. If anybody knows a better approach please let me know.
