Well good news! My new Rainbowfish came in today!
Bad news...
1 was already dead
1 has swollen red lips and can't swim right.
1 couldn't swim and we put it out of its misery.
2 have fuzzy lips
1 is just fine so far.
I wasn't home when they arrived. My lovely younger brother acclimated them for an hour and put them in my tank. ugh. At least he did a nice acclimation.
Tank parameters:
pH 7.4
Ammonia and nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
75g planted.
Weekly water changes
I have removed all the new fish except the healthy looking one. They were all bagged separately. They are in a 5g bucket with an airstone. I don't like it but I can't risk the rest of my tank stock (which includes a $60 ropefish) for some sick fish. Yes it's true, I don't have a QT tank laying around...
Any ideas on what to do? Was having a lovely day till this happened...... Might have to put the saltwater tank on halt.
