Good job McLumpy! Keep up the good work!
Good job McLumpy! Keep up the good work!
Sorry about that, just trying to help! So glad to hear that everyone is looking happier this morning!
Do you have any plants in your tank? If you are doing weekly PWCs and have a Nitrate problem again in the future, you might want to consider getting a few live plants for your tank. Might help!
Congratulations McLumpy!!!!! I knew you would do it!
Awww shucks... thanks guys!
I'm sooooo glad that I took the advice from you guys to perform the pwc's!! My fear though is that this did possibly delay the Ich treatment and the little buggers are still around. However, I have no regrets doing what I had to do in order to get my water quality back on track!
So yeah, I'm still not out of the woods yet w/ the possibility of Ich still lingering in my tank, and my Neon Tetra possibly having fungus. Not to mention, this evening my Red Tail Shark has been flashing non-stop, still has clamped fins, and his eyes still look sunken.
I will hopefully find a cause and solution to these issues, but having the Nitrates down will help keep their stress level down so any medications used will be effective.
For the mostpart, the majority of my fish have improved dramatically, (especially my Pleco... he's diggin' the Mopani drifwood btw!). I'm just really worried about my RT Shark now. He has never acted like this and he's been in the tank since the beginning, (he's also my husband's favorite), and I hate seeing him so uncomfortable.
I would think that w/ the Nitrates decreased and with me treating the tank for Ich/Fungus, it would kill off anything that would cause my Shark to behave this way... but it seems like he's in worse shape now. I will more than likely post a thread about this in the "Unhealthy Fish" section if my research on it leads to a dead end.
Again, I can't say thank you enough to you guys for your advice! /searches frantically for a Wayne's World "We're not worthy" Smilie
