Aquarium Advice Newbie
i know this is going to be a long story and i apologize in adavance. ive delt with ich before and withing days lost all my fish, im terrified of losing these babies. i bought a new tank wich came with a baby black moor, i didnt notice any signs of illness when we got him but aparently i was wrong, i did quarentine him right away wich im glad i did considering he had ich. but i must have somehow cross contaminated the water he was in with my healthy tank. ive been treating one of my 40 gallons for 11 days now starting on 12-21-12. started treating with quick cure, didnt see any results for days in fact it looked worse, never had luck with it before either. So 5 days in i bought coopersafe, and dosed as directions say. bought a heater and raised my tank to aroud 84 where its been for 5 days. my fish still have spots and lots of them expecially on one certain fishy. hes is completley covered including his eyes and this has only gotten worse over the last couple days for him. i do have to say that a couple of the fish are swimming around a bit, whereas they were all just bottom sitting. im just so worried because they keep getting new spots 11 days into treatment. i dont want to lose them and i dont know what to do. i took the carbon out at the very beggining of the treatments, my temps stayed at 84, ive done a couple water changes with gravel vaccum within the 11 days of treatments, which btw the bottle of coppersafe says no water changes needed. not sure if i should or not then. all my fish will eat still, two of them are more active but the rest just bottom sit. any advice? why would my fish be getting more spots after so many days of heat and meds? also my fish are all fancy goldfish, black moor, oranda, lionhead, and telescope
