Aquarium Advice Apprentice
For about 3 weeks now I've been fighting what I thought was a fungus. They are similar symptoms to a sick Roseline Shark I took to the ichthyologist at Long Beach Aquarium last year. That fish survived. In the past week I've lost a glass catfish, a Bosemani Rainbow fish and a Cochu tetra, all from the same 65 gallon tank. I still have the Chinese Algae eater, another Cochu tetra and two glass cats that appear to be sick. I've moved them to a hospital tank and am treating them with API Fungus Cure.
Today I looked in my 60 gallon angelfish tank and found what appears to be a reddening on the forehead of two angels. One has red bumps at the base of the right pectoral fin and the dorsal fin appears to be reddening as well. In my 135 gallon tank my goldfish seem lethargic and the wen on one of the Orandas appears to be whitening, but is not fuzzy.
I use my own Aquaticlife RO water with Seachem Equilibrium and Neutral Regulator. I change the water weekly and the filter media monthly. I replace 20 gallons each week from the 60 and 65 gallon tanks and add 64 grams Equilibrium and 4 teaspoons of the Neutral Regulator. I replace 40 gallons each week, sometimes twice a week, from the 135 gallon tank and add 128 grams Equilibrium and 8 teaspoons of the Neutral Regulator. Am I giving them too many minerals? The API 5-in-1 strips show everything is fine.
I'm about at my wits end and very upset/overwhelmed with so many sick fish, so maybe I'm not thinking straight.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
