That's rough, fishy meds are $$$ huh? Will one day be effective at all?
What are you going to do?
I just qt'd a ram into the boring tank, it was sitting in the bottom, I felt like it would get harassed by the plethora of bottom buggers in my tank, I guess if it not vulnerable and able to defend itself than leaving it be could work? Keep the water clean, good food and maybe salt? The salt thing seems to be divided in this forumn, some say must, some say don't bother..
I'm a bit unsure about salt. From what I have learned recently. I believe salt is better to use as a preventative rather than a cure.
I'll have a think over night.
Anyways I would just do your 50%each day for a bit and see if it gets better. And I understand your nitrates aren't raising that fast but of you have 10ppm your fish will do better in the 5ppm. Clean water is the most important thing for your fish. You can say you are doing a good pwc 100% a week divided up by 2 50% but if you do a 50% or even a 20% daily you will have better water quality and lower nitrates because you can remove all the debris before it starts to break down and you don't give nitrates a chance to build up at all. Clean water is the most important thing for a fish to recover.
Just wondering. What's your nitrate levels before you do you 50%pwc?
