new cannister filter with whisper 60 and power head going
ph 6.6 -7 past 2 days
nitrate 70 (tons of water changes cant get it down)
nitrite-0
ammonia-0
i just bought a dojo loach and a new plant (anubias i think) and had them in my planted 10 gal for a few days then put into 55 gal, two days later my girlfriend noticed fin rot on male guppy (older) and decided to med both tanks since i was out of town for a few days. i think she used minocycline white tums sized tablet with a M on it and line under the M. LFS said one tablet per 10 gal. three days into meds (doing water changes before dosing 25% about) have now lost betta, rasbora, no neons lost (have 15 ) honey gold guarami and now my dojo is messed up, in just a couple of hours hes gone down hill, he has small red dots on him, looks like somthing small growing on his head and his eyes are cloudy moved him out of tank with fresh water thought it might be meds heard something about scaleless fish being affected. could someone or everyone please PLEASE help, i dont want to loose anymore fish and i really dont want my dojo to go.....
To late, after seperating dojo into quaritine he started swimming more eraticly and 7 hours later finally gave up. if anyone could tell me for future refrence if what i have was maricyn or maricyn two. lfs not very helpful and if either of these harm loachs or any other types of fish. im thinking it was the meds that killed my betta as there were no previous signs of infection or problems. any help would be appretiated..
