Rainbow shark

How would you do what?

Nothing sharp and how do I do the thing with the filter

 

[fort384]

Is it cycled? If so, I'd put the ghost shrimp in there, but nothing else. That'd stock you a little bit better, and he might stop beating himself up so bad. You Don't have anything sharp and pointy in the rank do you?

A ghost shrimp? That would have almost 0 effect on any kind of bioload or space constraints.

 

[fort384]

Just move the filter media over. What kind of filters do you have on the 14 and the 75?

That was my point. A 5 gallon is useless for most anything but shrimp and a Betta.

14 is hang on 75 is external

oh lol ok I get it. I was thinking move the ghost shrimp over to the 75.

Btw, 5 gal tanks aren't useless. I love 5 gal tanks

Ok, and the hang on filter, what kind of media is in it? is there a sponge, or a pad, or what? Basically you want to take out most of it, and put it in the canister filter. Viola! Pretty much instant cycle. You might still experience a mini cycle, but it won't be too bad, and will still be better than keeping the diseased fish with the rest. I would hate to see the infection spread.

Don't get me wrong I do 2, it's just I like 75 gallon tanks better!

And how would I treat the shark

 

[fort384]

and do you have any replacement pads?

Just stick a new pad in the 14, and cut off about 10% of the old pad and stick it behind the new pad. Then put the remaining 90% of the pad in your canister filter. Then move all but the rainbow over to the 75. I think getting the rainbow quarantined and getting the fish into a tank of proper size will go a long way to treating (or at least prevent spreading).

Also, some better focused pics will help to id if there is some kind of parasitic or bacterial infection.

 

[Angelfish56]

Best I can get

 

[fort384]

Yeah sorry I can't really tell. Someone better with fish diseases will come along that might have a better educated guess. In the mean time, if it were me, I would move over the filter media and all the fish but the rainbow as a stop gap.

Ok
