I am so irritated ? I drove an hour to pick up Denisons Barbs from a guy on a local forum. I got pictures and water parameters, size etc and all was good. Well I show up, and these guys are tiny and their skin is peeling!I realize I could have just not taken them, but I had already driven a long distance, and they were pretty cheap. I also kind of wanted to rescue them.
Anyways they're obviously going into the 20g long QT tank...the fish currently in there are getting an early release because I'm afraid these new ones might have comumnaris or something evil...it could just be the water quality, stress etc....but until I observe them I won't know.
What should I treat with in the mean time? I thought about adding some stress coat to help the peeling skin issue, and I have some melafix and pimafix on hand (some leftover maracyn plus I once treated columnaris with in case) ...anyways...
Just wanted to vent that...also I'm testing this guys water to see what it's like out of curiosity! I'm determined to help the poor fishes!!
