Hello everyone. My Little Girl is suffering. It has taken a long time for visual manifestation. The base of her fins have red ulcers. I have been treating the tank with antibiotics and today is the seventh day. I will need to change water 25%. It looks somewhat less angry today but I wonderwhy she is always at the top of the tank and if I should do another full 7 day cycle.
We have a very bad problem with brown algae as well but no one seems to suffer but me. I have been thoroghly cleaning walls, rocks and plants every two weks but it just comes back.
How long do severum live? Mine is about 10 years old. I have a spotted catfish, Spot, that is 17 years old and is happy as a clam. Two clown loaches seem to hide most of the time as of recently...maybe 6 months.
I appreciate your time and advice. If it is more humane to kill my Little Girl, how can I do it? It would break my heart. She usually is a very happy and fun fish.
Thanks, Nancy in Atlanta
