The fin tear is visual and larger than the pik

maybe not the best.... It's hard to get a good one...

Large fin tear present. Water change current. Temp mid spec 27.5C. The big fella is suffering....old age...there seems to be a domino effect of health probs starting to occur. Little fella is fit and healthy. I'd like to treat my tank as a whole problem with fin rot. I do have a medi vac tank...

Okay.... Temp down, large wc done. It seems as tho Pandora's box is open here. To keep on subject, I'll start a new thread. Jag parasite #2.

Today is a wc. The large fin tear is shortening.... It is still large tho, and rather wide. Photo when the lites come on...soon

The temp that I ranged had some interesting effects on behaviour..... I think I've now found the perfect temp 29-30C for my fish.... I've kept the lower spec for jags way too long 26C. Yes it did have a numbing effect on their aggression..... And also their personality. Mid range 27-28C brought...

This fin tear is the worst, the rest have healed nicely. I held the temp at 30-31C for 10 days..... Ich be gone....

Current temp 30.2 C.... Things r going swimmingly... My next wc in 3 days. I'll get a shot of the fin tear.

Current temp 29.8 C. The white grains r gone. Swim fin is heavily torn. Big fella breathing a little laboured. Power head fully airated. I'm doing a minor water change 15%.... 100 litres. This will lower the temp slightly. Then I'll bring it bak up again. I'm goin for 30 C....

Temp just hit 29 C. Behaviour is content. I've set the tank up with a natural large driftwood barrier. I think they r actually liking this treatment??? Eating normally again... Flashing has completely stopped. The small white spots are still visible tho.

They're doin relay runs up n down the tank... Gills flared fins erect and first feed since large water change. There're hungry. The anger here is now gettin out of hand... 27.8 C current. The young fella I gotta watch my fingers with. Hence why I've kept the lower end of their temp spec. I hate...

Thanks fishman007..... And everyone for the input. I realise I'm in good company here. The links in this thread r a must read.... Even if, like me, this parasite has never been encounted before. Truly greatful and humbled to b in ur presence.....I'll keep up with updates and photos in this...

Yup.... 2... Father and son. Young fella 18mths old 10 inches not showing signs of infestation but I'm treating it as tho he has. About to b rehomed in another 650 litre tank with a new girlfriend..... That will b another thread....big fella has had some health issues in the last 12 mths or...

Thanks for the link fishman007..... That's a must read to understand this parasite. I'm keeping a close eye on them. The aggression these two have is a little over the top. Re eating..... They never eat the same day of a water change and that one was a little larger than normal. I'll find out tonite

One day into treatment... Odd behaviour.... Both fish crowding the intake end off the tank. Another little problem I've faced here is ph drop of .5 due to recent rain. Current ph 7. Unsure if I should up it? I feel like there's too much going on. Current temp 27.5 C. I changed out 250litres of...

Note the large grains on swim fin

I'm having problems sending photos to sho on this thread

Thanks for letting me kno that... What was I thinking??? I do tend to panic a bit when it comes to health of my fish. Okay.... I'll try raising my salt lvl first, and raise my temp in 1 degree Celsius increments for the next 3 days. Current temp 26.5 C. Would that b slow enough? I will also...

Currently running 1 table spoon to 100 litres of water. Tank size is 650 litres. Fish only tank. 1 14 inch jag and 1 10 inch jag. I'm going to do both:- chemical remedy and raise my dose of salt and raise temp. Thank u everyone for ur help and fast response. This is a classic parasite. I'll post...

Tiny grains of salt and some minor fin tearing.... Ur rite... It's ich. Unsure how developed thru life cycle parasite is. Have I picked it early? What is mortality rate? Who makes quick cure?

Water test is current... 2 days out from my normal water change of 30%. On close inspection this morning, tiny white spots on 1 swim fin. Fish is eating normally, dry food. Live food went off the menu a few yrs back. I don't understand how this got into my tank. How do I best treat it? Pics soon...

I need some help here fast.... Jag goin into fits... Alike to high nitrate levels.. Rubbing on the bottom... Water test:- 0 amm, 0 trite, 20 trates... My water changes r impeccable, and exact. This big fella is 10yrs.... I've never seen this before... Swim fins show little signs of tearing.... I...
