Just thought I would give an update. Gunther, our fish, is doing much better. His eye has almost totally cleared up, there is just a small little speck of white on his eye. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Got my water tested... what’s the difference with PH and high range PH? Ok so here’s my water Ph 7.6 High rang Ph 8.8 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 160 I did a about a 35% water change and I plan on doing another water change tomorrow. I did not remove any plants yet and I cut open a new filter...

So I found a dead bambo plant in my tank that I thought I had removed when they all died, it does show signs of small white cottony blotches on it. So I'm thinking this is part of the root cause, it has been removed. The bambo was planted last spring/summer and I didn't expect them to survive, I...

If you zoom in and look at his left eye, you will see a clear/white-ish clone shaped thing sticking out over his eye. At a glance it looks like it is part of the background but I assure you it is attached to him. I have not changed his diet or feeding routine, he is in a 29 gallon tank and alone...

Here are some pics, of course he would not cooperate and turn for the perfect shot...

So I noticed about a week ago that my cichlid's eye looked odd and continued to get worst. Earlier this week I ran a full treatment of API fungus cure. The only thing I have not done yet is a water change as I did put in some salt and a dose of Melafix this evening. I figured I would do a water...
