I have a breeder pair of angels I have had for a while and am very attached to them. I did a cleaning on the 95 gallon wave tank they are in. I must have cleaned the filter media too heavily because I put them through a mini cycle :/
I did 25%-40% changes daily, and two a day until the ammonia got down below 0.25. They are pretty much out of the cycle. The cycle lasted maybe 3 days. During the night in-between my heavy water cycles I was using Nox-Ich. Just today I started dosing with melafix and have read that it probably won't help...\
Cranked up their heaters as well.
The angels aren't eating, being lethargic, and I feel like they have a thin pale coating on them. Just this evening one of the angels' tall fins are showing symptoms of fin rot. I will keep dosing with Nox-Ich, but should I continue with the malefix? Are they ok to dose together.
Any advice?
