There won't be another fish :( My main tank cracked and spilled 70-80 gallons of water in my dining room and also down into my downstairs neighbors condo. I think its a sign to take up a new hobby. Here are some pics

Well I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you there. If you can give me one reliable source that says hyposalinity itself will kill a fish let me know. I couldn't bring myself to kill the fish last night but I woke up this morning and he didn't make it :(

I know what you mean it keeps waving his fins really fast for about a second then its like it has to rest and then build up energy again. This is terrible I don't even want to go in there anymore... maybe I'll just leave it until tomorrow, there are no other fish in there.. I just hate that it...

Still right side up but getting stiffer looking, and whiter, looks like it can only move its fins and even that looks tough :(

Should I take the fish out? I can't get anything until tomorrow and even then they don't open until 10am... this sucks

Just looked again, pretty much the same but the fish has kinda stiffened up, still breathing and waving its fins once in a while but not moving at all.

It's definitely breathing really quickly. I don't even want to go look anymore though :(

The salinity was the same for a week and a half. I dropped it over 48 hours. Wouldn't the fish die right away if it was due to salinity? It actually made the fish healthier since it wasn't flashing from the ick anymore.

Was at the lfs for about a week then in my tank for a week and a half. Seemed like a normal healthy fish, wasn't skittish unless you were moving around quick, if you stood there he would stare right back at you. Weird thing is that my main tank actually cracked that night. The tang was on the...

Now he's really struggling to move, doesn't look good :( What could kill a healthy purple tang so quick?

Hello, I've had a purple tang for about a week and a half. It has been in quarantine and I noticed ick almost right away so I dropped the salinity to 1.009. Tang was fine for a week and a half and was eating like a pig. The ick was completely gone last night and the tang ate a bunch of nori...

Hey all, I've had my dogface puffer for about 8 months. Eats like a puffer pretty much everything I put in there. I had a problem with hair algae but I cleared that up when my chaeto started growing and a few water changes. Ever since then the puffer has been attacking its own reflection...

Where are you located?

It does appear to be similar to lymph.... it just seems smaller than most pictures I've seen of it. It would make sense too cause the flukes were pretty bad I think, the fins were almost completely gone. So the lymph would have a way in. I hope that's what it is... I don't mind waiting for...

So no ideas on what this might be?? :( Now there is the same white spot in almost the exact same spot on the other side of its tail. I just did a +50% PWC and dosed with prazipro again last night but the dots are still there... Fish flashed a few times after the water change but I haven't...
