It is commonly associated with Mycoplama infection.

It is also my understanding that once a tort has had RNS it can then be suseptible to re-occurence.

I honestly believe that in my case it was simply too cold for them. I now have the basking temp at 40 0C and as Danny suggested 30 0C at night and they are fine, no bubbles or squeaks now and they are active and eating great. Am going to finish their meds though just in case and they get bathed twice daily, although these 2 are little water babies and they love being out in and out of their water dish anyway
