I have two Bose Rainbows who get the mouth fungus they are know for. I know they are more sensitive to poor water conditions and this is what causes it.
Now what confuses me is that I have trouble understanding where the poor water comes from.
50Gal tank
I have a well cycled planted tank.
I do weekly water changes (always vacuum, 30-50% water change, use Prime for new water)
My filter is a HOB 30-60gal (with bio media, extra foam added to back, and intake changed to a foam filter sized for 75gal)
My water paras are 7.6ph, 0 ammonia, 0 nirates, 0 nitrites, 200-220tds
Everything else stays very healthy in the tank. So what would "poor" water conditions mean in my case? What do you suggest I do to keep my rainbows healthy?
I have my two in a holding tank with Kanaplex treatment right now, it is going down but not away, might move to trying SulfaPlex after.
Thanks guys.
