Morning all,
I'll start with the conditions - excellent.
Ammonia - 0
pH - 7.4
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5
7 days ago performed 35% water change in my 40 gal tank.
Contents
4 x widow tetras
1 x Koi Angel
1 x Marble Angel
4 x Corys
1 x Balloon Molly
Problem with the Molly - symptoms started Friday night. Fish was lying on the bed of the tank moving very little and its usually right amongst all the action.
Saturday, I put him in a little 9 litre hospital tank for most of the day which has 1/2 fresh water and half tank water with some stress coat and some melafix.
Then dropped one tiny piece of food in... Initially uninterested but did eat it and did appear to look a bit better so put him back in the bigger tank.
Saturday night noticed it again hanging around in the bottom after initially looking a bit better.
Sunday (now) fish is swimming about more but is hiding as well and has a stringy (with little blobs) poo.
It's not white poo but thinner than usually - it looks like the regular poo (in blobs) inside the stringy poo.... I hope that makes sense
Does anyone have any ideas for what I should do or Treat with?
