So for some reason I am having absolutely terrible luck in keeping GBRs. I started with a pair of them when one died of a fungal infection. Then I recently bought a new one to replace the one I lost and it turns out the new one was infected with Ich. Now all of a sudden my original GBR now has bilateral pop eye.
I have a 29g planted tank which is currently set at 86 degrees to deal with the potential Ich outbreak before it spreads to other fish.
Currently my readings are:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10ppm
I normally dose my tank with Aquariumfertilizer's Macro Micro nutrient mix as well as fleet enema for phosphate all kept at the recommended levels. I also use API CO2 booster for carbon.
I change approximately 40% of my water religiously every week as well as keeping an eye on nitrates in case a second change is necessary. I also do a full tank dosing of Stress Coat on every water change.
The only thing that I could think of that caused it is that I was doing an occasional 2ml / g dosing of hydrogen peroxide to deal with a BBA outbreak that I finally got under control
Is there anything else I should check for or do to stop my GBRs from getting sick or is it just the decision of the aquarium gods that I am not allowed to keep these as pets?
