dsbanderson said:well it first showed up on the fake plants and then my tetras got it first and today seems to have come on hot and heavy. i think all my tetras are gone. i dissolved the 5 tablespoons in a half gallon of water and will start to add after the water change tonight. how should i add the salt mixture. how much at a time
dsbanderson said:ok so 4 teaspoons of aquarium salt. i'm gonna do it in a glass bowl with a airpump. taking the fish out and will put them both in there for 30 minutes. my pleco doesn't seem to be effected but should i put him in there too. then i will put them back in the aquarium which should be enough time to get the water changed. one question. how do you all make sure your water your changing is the same temperature as you took out. do you use two thermometers.
dsbanderson said:Water change 50%, added 1/4 of the mixture of salt water to the tank and the angels are about 10 minutes from being done in their saltwater dip. so far so good. amazing it looks like some of that webbing has come off.. so happy hope they make it.. mama's praying for them..
dsbanderson said:ok the angels are back in.. gosh i hope that works that was painful to watch. thanks again for everything..
dsbanderson said:So tonight i'm about to start day two water change and decided to check the ph and ammonia and such before i empty just to see where we're at.. my angels and plecostamus are hanging in there. and i've added 2/4th of the salt water mixture so far.. will add 1/4 more after the water change.so here are the results
