Tank Specs:
Ammonia 0
NitrAtes 5
NitrItes 0
ppm(Hardness) 50 -120
ppm (Alkalinity) 80 -120
pH 6.8 - 7.2
90 gallon with 3 Blood Red Parrot Cichlids, 1Convict Parrot Cichlid, 3 Balas, 1 Cory Cat, 2 African Butterfly fish, 5 spiny eels.
25% water changes once a week, temp is at 75 F.
Right now I have stress coat, MelaFix, and PimaFix in my tank (recommended doses)
BRPC is a little lethargic but still eats and swims around, etc.
I thought I had the perulent nostril taken care of and on teh way to recovery. This evening while checking on everybody I noticed another perulent bump right in the middle and a little ways up between the nostrils. I scooped my little guy outta the tank to see what was up. Just feeling around, I applied very light pressure to the new bump. Pus oozed outta his left nostril. It was pretty foul smelling.
Should I stick with the MelaFix and PimaFix doses daily, or should I try the fish Amoxicillian, or does anyone else have a better idea. Feel free to bounce ideas off of me I'm very open minded.
