Aquarium Advice Activist
My puppy fish is in dire straits. Yesterday morning when I turned on the aquarium light, I noticed him hunkered down in a corner and rapidly breathing. I looked him over with my big magnifier and saw white specks on his pectoral fins and on his tail. The rest of his body was normal (and still is). He wouldn't eat. He wouldn't do anything. I did some research and believed it to be Ich. I had some Coppersafe so I dosed him with that. I then read where you're not supposed to use that on Dog Face puffers!!! OMG!!! Today, his breathing is actually less labored but he still won't eat. He's also moved around in the tank a bit. Will the Ich kill him or the medication I gave him kill him??? This is so frustrating!!! I don't want to lose him. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!! :-((
