I've made other threads. I'm losing my mind trying to help my fish! I have 2 tanks. I use separate nets (since I learned I should a month ago. 1st tank: 4 adolescent angelfish. 2 Bolivian rams, 2 blue rams, and a bala shark. I KNOW this tank has camallanus worms, but the rams with worms showin act fine (eat, swim in the open, etc). 2 of the angelfish are not eating, have clear, long, stringy poo, hide in a dark castle, and look like someone poked a hole Inbetween their eyes with a pen. The other Bolivian ram looks like its got holes behind its eyes on both sides, and has a green tint on its head. Now I noticed the bala shark has either black spots, or missing scales on its side. I'm waiting on levamisole. I've put kanaplex and metrondiazole in the tank (after which...1 of the non-eating angels proceeded to poo the longest clear string I've ever seen, and is still stuck to her). The eating fish are on their 6th and final day of metro food, and seem ok.
My 20g has 2 tiger barbs, 1 tetra, and used to have a plecostomis and cherry barb. I removed the plecostomis and cherry barb because they were covered in white dots (I've seen ich....that's not what this was). I thought the barb was dead in the tank, but found him hiding deep in a cave (just like the angels are doing in the 55g). He swam upside down a while in QT, before dying. The pleco has. Turned an unnatural white color and I'm sure will die soon. One of the tiger barbs has something clear all over it. When it swims, it has a green reflection. Oh, this barb also appears to be poked Inbetween the eyes with a pencil.
Why are fish in different tanks exhibiting the same symptoms? And why can't I help my fish? If your fish has ever shown these symptoms, please comment. I'm pretty desperate. I've spent so much time, money and love trying to do well at this hobby. I just don't understand!
