Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I posted yesterday under "unhealthy fish" but didn't get any advice so I'll try here also.
I have an all yellow african cichlid about 4". He was living in a 26gal tank with 4 other. He was the runt and I think he might have been picked on by the others. Two days ago I noticed his outside fins were threaded and was swimming strangely.The next morning he was swimming sporaticly and upside down. I moved into another smaller tank with a couple goldfish. I took out the carbon filters and added T.C.Tetracycline to the water (I couldn't find Melafix)
We're well into the second day and he seems strong but not using his bottom two fins. He swims all over but mostly up side down and not with cofidence. I wonder if he can see properly.
You see my situation, I want to save him but don't want him suffering.
