Posted	Gaping Gills
13-05-2005 13:49 by Mac.Dizcuz	Can anyone help me and tell me what to do with "gaping gills". Some of my 2" stendker scribbelts have gaping gills coupled with rapid gill movement. Looking at the fish head on you would think they were "hooded". They appear health enough and are eating well. Ph is 6.5, temperature 30 degrees and I change 15% water daily.
