In case people have not been following my Hyposalinity in My DT thread, here is a brief recap... I had what I thought was only Ich in my DT. Since the fish were too large and too many to QT, I decided to go with hypo in the DT. Things seemed fine at first, fish had spots, spots cleared, never got any rapid breathing or negative signs that the Ich had done damage. Now, over the last week, I lost a Valentini Puffer. (never showed signs of anything)...a couple days later the Porcupine Puffer died. Both seemed okay prior.
Now my Desjardini, who looked great for about three days, is looking bad. Yesterday, we noticed a white patch around it's lower fin and body. This morning, there are white streaks down the lower fin and the fin almost looks swollen. (not thin like normal, almost puffed up) and one eye is starting to bulge.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of pulling the Tang into a QT and treating with an anti- bacterial med for the eye, but I am at a loss for the white areas. I've never seen anything like this.
The Huma Huma seems perfectly normal. The Engineer Goby, I am not sure about. It is not where it normally hides, so I can't tell if it is acting up or just relocating .
