usually poor water combined with stress..Btw, how do they get fin rot?
usually poor water combined with stress..
so I have been in this game for 5/6 months now, I have 3 tanks. 29,20,10.. I have a calendar on the wall, I keep scrupulous notes in all activity in all tanks, I find it paramount in maintaining these tanks. Not saying it's a must.. But water in a small tank can go bad quick, and finding a patten or even knowing can help immensely.. I've upped water changes in my 10 and 20 to every 5 days.. Tests don't lie best of luck !!I agree. A fish in captivity is already under stress, add on top of that poor water conditions, temperature and under or over feeding and you'll get a fish that is prone to disease. Best we can do to keep our fish healthy are frequent water changes, the right temperature and a good diet.
Just did a test and these are the results.
PH 7.6
ammonia .25
Nitrite and Nitrate 0
Did the anti fungal kill off the good bacteria and now would need to recycle?
I did a 50% water change this morning. Just tested water now and these are my readings:
Ammonia 0.25
PH 6.5
Nitrite and Nitrate 0
