Hello I have a 65 gallon tank, recently had a couple fish die..introduced a "Coral Beauty" ...my Niger Trigger harrassed it..a week later dead one morning..next my Clown Fish got Fin Rot..discovered a dead Mandarin and now realized I am missing a Blue damsel..I still have my Dog faced Puffer..Niger Triger..Sharp nosed Puffer..small Clown..alage blemmy. Everyone is acting ok except for the Puffer. For a while I thought he had a gill infection, appeared to keep one gill closed. His eyes looked spotty. Tried a couple ich-x dips. Then was told it is a fungal infection..added PRimx to tank..did nothing but stress trigger so I did multiple water changes, changed out media in filters to collect medication.
He hasnt eaten in 4 days or so...used to eat like a beast..I have every kind of food..he used to love frozen clams especially w/ garlic xtreme..even tried ghost shrimp last night...nope. Every now and then I catch him at the top of tank then he will come back down crotch under a rock.
- Salinity 1.023
- Ammonia - .025
- Nitrites - 0
_ Nitrates - 40?
- PH - 8.0
I've done multiple water changes, cleaned out filter hoses (WOW what nasty gunk inside) Protein skimmer is working great..cleaned out pumps..trying to elminate any nitrates hanging around. Tank looks excellent..other fish acting great. Is it the nitrates hurting his eyes and restricting breathing or do you think some kind of infection? Unable to get Cleaner Wrasse, been trying.
- Tap water with 100ppm using Amquel + at 2.5ml per 5 gallons when changing
<<this is how I feel right now unable to save him
