Well the beginning of the week i lost a danio and about 3 weeks ago i lost a danio as well. Now today i came home and turned the light on and now my guaramis looks terrible! He is all skinny and having a hard time staying level. There is nothing visibly wrong with him. He even ate some pellets i put in! You can see his skeletal compostion. And i'm positive this was just overnight. My parameters are fine, ph just a tad high at 7.6. I alternate between bloodworms, betta pellets(which the other fish love), aquarian flakes, and hikari micro pellets. Have not had a problem with feeding. The tank is FW and 20gal. What is going on? Is there a general medication i can put in the whole tank with the other fish in there or must i quarentine him? What meds are good? I have carbon in both my cartridges. The one filter cartridge i can open up and get rid of the carbon but the cartridge for the min biowheel has carbon in it and you get open that. I know carbon will remove meds so what do i do? I was kinda hoping there was something i could use to medicate the whole tank just in case the other fish are carrying something around. I have no spare tanks for quarantine so for now i'm gonna have to put him in a bowl or something with some new water. Do quarantine tanks have to be up and running like a regular tank- filter, heater, etc? everone's help is greatly appreciated.
