Ok I'll raise the temp up and do a water change. I found the seachem you were talking about as well. I added them slow and they are all babies so there is really not that much in the tank. I planned on getting more plants it's just a slow process sense they are expensive and I have 3 other tanks.

here a picture of the whole set up. List of fish 5 angles 2 German blue rams 4 zebra loaches and a pleco that only gets about three inches big not sure it's actual name. Thanks again for everyone's help.

His mouth looks fuzzy in the picture but it is not. No signs of illness except that one gill sticking out and the fin next to his gill it tattered a bit.

here is a pic that is the best I could get sorry

The tank has been running for three months. It is planted tank. Ok I'll see if I can find seachem. Thank you

Thank you for your response. The fish is not showing stress bars or flashing that I can tell. I also first thought flukes and started a treatment of ProForm-C. I purchased it from a reputable aquarium store not a pet store. Treated for three days and then did a 30% water change no sign of any...

Thank you for the kind words. He's still hanging in there. It is hard though because you are right I tend to feel like I could have done something to save him. Or I most have done something wrong for him to get sick in the fist place. I'm now hoping it does not spread to my angels. One of them...

Not looking good. Second day of treatment and seams to not be helping hiding. Not eating, deteriorated gills, the medication says treat for three days then do a 30% water change. I think after that I will be trying melafix to treat for bacterial infection if he lasts that long. Crossing fingers...

Thank you so much. He is still eating a bit so I'm hoping for the best. I'll let you know what he looks like tomorrow

Ok i called my lfs and asked then if the stuff I purchased from them for ick might help and not hurt my scalded fish they said it would so I just dosed the tank and I'm hoping for the best. The medication I'm using is for the treatment of external protozoan, fungal disease and ich.

Oh yeah and my temp is 78.6 though it was running about 80 so I've been slowly being it down

Awesome information from everyone thank you. It's a pretty large piece of driftwood and it helps keep my water ph down I have 8.0 from the tap and 7.4 in the tank. So I'll keep it and get used to the tannen color. I know 7.4 is a little high for the fish but I have been told putting ph down...

My ph is 7.4 KH is 80 and GH is 30. My tank is planted I use flourish, flourish excel and flourish iron. No CO2, three days a did a 50% water change because the wood I put in there a month ago is still leaching color and I was trying to get some of the color out of the tank. I add the two rams...

I was just about to head there and pick up a 20 gallon

Thank you so much for your response. I used to have a Corentine tank but I have a baby turtle in there at the moment. His gills do look red to me. Should I go grab another tank from pet smart and get it set up for him? I have quick start I could put in to get it cycled. Should I be worried about...
