Thanks coral good article.. the part that is confusing me is 9 parts water to one part bleach.. in a 75 gallon tank that would be 8 gallons of bleach..surely 8 gallons is overkill.. I think I’m missing something. Do I mix a 9 to 1 in a bucket and dump that in the almost full tank and run...
Hi everybody, as some of you know a disease crashed my tank and killed everything. Whatever the disease was, I believe took a couple months to show..I’ve drained the tank and disassembled everything.. was curious for recommendations on how to bleach.. it’s a 75g so it’s staying put. Do I fill...
Potluck..Yes strange that two are still alive and seem to be doing fine; however don't want to chance infecting all the fish in the 10g....75 gTank was cycled and 20 percent water changes were done weekly. Water parameters were always 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and under 10 nitrate. Yes the fish in...
Potluck thanks for your reply.. The symptoms were one by one the fish would isolate themselves and not eat and eventually die. Two or three of the 12 that died had a curved spine. Some of the cardinals looked as though they had a black spot before they died..one of the rummies swam erratically...
Hey everyone. As I posted a while back my fish starred dying off one by one. Was unable to figure the disease. Attempted to treat with melafix and primafix with no success..still have two fish remaining and waiting. Gonna move them to a small tank and re do the 75. I figure its either tb or...
And not to mention my 75gallon is way understocked. I have 5 cardinals and 2 rummies. So I'm certain water chemistry is not the issue. Thanks again for the reply.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I do 30% water changes every five to six days. I monitor everything. I keep plenty of live plants..Just trying to,diagnose what is going on. Very possible I got a bad batch with a slow acting disease. I always quarantine for minimum 4 weeks. More,than a few fish died...
Just noticed that one of my cardinal tetras has a dark spot greenish maybe blackish just past his gill its almost like scale discoloration? Any ideas? Looks like another spot on his body as well with the scale discoloration? Wonder if this is the problem. Thanks
Ok thanks. I will do another month. Does anyone else think I should wait longer, or is four weeks about the right time to make sure there's no diseases? Thanks
If it helps I initially had 6 rummies and 8 cardinals in a 75g. I have in qt. 6 green rasboras and 2 apisto cauc's. The ph in both tanks is 7.5. I generally acclimate for two to three hours. Water is around 80 degrees. Never any ammonia or nitrite. Nitrates are always under 10. Thanks!
Hey everyone. I recently posted about fish dying off one by one with really no signs of disease. Water parameters were great.. I lost 7 fish in a matter of two weeks. The last fish died about two weeks ago. seven fish survived. One of the survivors didnt eat for a week and recently started...
The fish that wouldn't eat died. The other fish that didn't eat for about a week finally started to eat. The 7 remaining fish I have seem to be doing fine. Would you recommend treating? None seem stressed and appear to swimming normal. If another couple weeks pass and they all stay how they...
