Aquarium Advice Addict
OK! Its been battling on for about a week, but now i'm doubt the fish will come through unharmed.
Attached is a picture
1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability Random scales "loose" looked like something came OUT of the fish. As well, Skin damage by Eye Gills. Gills are also redder than normal (the gills have always ben red and visible through the nearly translucent gills, so don't let the picture freak you out 100%
2~What are your tank parameters 10ppm nitrate. 0 everything else. Temp is at 83*F. Raised from 81.
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up? 15 gallons. 2 years nearly. No additions for the last.... 8 months to a year?
4~What type of filtration are you using? Please give the name and number Aquaclear 30.
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes? 2 angles (both visible in pic) One GBR, one clown loach (small, doesn't have ailment/ich)
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? How often do you do this? How much water do you remove at a time?
40% water changes every other day since the fish has gotten sick. Vacume/filter change JUST before this popped up (wondering if i had a spike and he got weak?)
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them? at least a year now.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? No new additions for at least 8 months. Low maintenance tank!
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? I did change recently to S[ectrum Optimum Fresh H20 Flakes.
