http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...Picture027.jpg most of the mucus stuff seemed to be gone but he has scratches now and thier all still very stressed out its the 75g |
All of the fish are affected or just the discus, Fuzz?:blueshake: Use Stress Coat to allow the discus to produce mucous membrane preventing any secondary infections particularly fungus. Melafix will do the job on scratches. What about the cottony patches? You might have mistook white filaments from scratches for cottony patches.:question: |
theres still some white spots but i am leaving soon to get melafix and the waters been treated with stress coat. thier all eating fine and right now its just the one but the three that hang around each other most are stressed |
How long has this tank been set up? I'm concerned about no nitrate level... |
The extremely low nitrate level could be caused by the atleast twice weekly 40% water changes being done. That would effectively hold the nitrates to a very low level...especially in a lightly stocked tank. |
i have plants and the tank is about 6 months old. its gotten to the point where hes at the top...his friend is bumping him and he follows him down but then goes back up. just fed them and he got excited as usual. the white is spreading, i think il be setting up a 10g for him tonight and start treating with something.. would macaryn help with this? and i looked at pictures of chilodonella, but it doesnt look like that on him. should i maybe be worried it is this... |
need help...WCs arnt helping neither is melafix. 3 fish are infected, and i moved out my breeding rams to reduce stress which i think may have caused the oncome of the disease. will someone help me before i loose these fish... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...th_Picture.jpg |
