Please help urgent!!!

Thanks a lot, it makes more sense. Now I have another Ocean green sick as well, I have been worried for the first one that just has come out for food for a few days, but not 100% recover (the colour is still dark and a bit scared).

The second one turns dark and dull colour and one of fin has white colour about 1/3 of the length. Obviously he refuses food, so scared in the corner.

And what I did yesterday night was that as per lfs I put a bag of carbon next to intake to get rid of ammo. I took it out today while I did w/c because I am thinking it could be the problem for the second one.

PH = 6.3 , ammo = 0.6.

I thought I had done every thing right at the beginning, so that I would get the healthy fish, but I only get stressed and worried problem after problem. Please tell me what I should do to fix the second one. Thanks a lot in advance.

so how much are you changing per w/c?

what are u feeding them?

Could it be velvet ?

Is your temp still at 32 degrees and have you tried treating with tbl spoon salt per 20 litres before ?

Malachite green/formalin is commonly used to treat velvet and white spot.

I have a bloody white spot out break atm in my main tank ...

Treating with water changes,salt and thermal because I am hitting it early.

If you think it is something like velvet and thermal has not helped then you may wish to consider something like Malachite green/formalin.

Just hope you don't have casualties.

my tank is about 180 l and 50 l per w.c.

Atm 2x premium breeder and 1 cube of blood worm, before it was a cube of beefheart.

Today test: ammo = almost zero, Nitrite = almost zero, PH = 6.3.

The white on tips of fins disappeared, come out for food but still dark colour and hide in corner and scared. Thanks

Also too help get that ammonia down you might want too double or tripple your de-chlor amount. Might go through a bottle a bit quicker but if its going too save your fish why not.

I dont even measure de-clor anymore i just give a few large squirts which would be way over the amouunt needed.

Thanks Flukes! I am doulling up the amount of ACN every time I do w/c.

How are your fish now?

Is your tank barebottom or does it have gravel? If it has gravel you want to make sure you gravel vac very well.... Maybe where the ammonia is coming from?
