loveie

No shes a girl has had plenty of her share of eggs. Ok I dint know that it could be viral as well so I should just to my water change thats due today and does anyone know when I should do the next change as tank will still have plenty of furan in it. And can anyone tell me if the tap water I filled the outside tub with has been sitting for days do I still have to put the stresscoat and stress zyme in thanks for your reply in advance

Hi its for my four comets. They have all been sitting at the bottom of the tank and have a lot of blood streaks through there back tail and have also been losing some scales over sometime. So did water changes over a week got water parameters right but no improvement. Have just finished a full treatment of furan 2 they seemed to improve a bit not 100% but hoping to put them in the outside tub. One of them also has small white pimple like dots on his head now slightly risen Also while treating they had white stringy floating poos

Hi its for Hemorrhagic Septicemia

I just measured mine and it was about 225 ltrs.

Is it ok to use melafix and furan 2 together. My tank has had melafix for 4 days now but have come to the conclusion that I need to use Furan 2.

Thanks Phoenix44 I think I will treat with furan2 but still I am unsure weather to do a bigger water change because of the melifx or is it ok to combine the two. I know its me I cant understand what you wrote Im too stressed over all of this you said ...do regular water changes, first after the second day and ten everyday if you wish instead but add furan in the replaced water...not sure of the and ten everyday was it ment to be then every day? Man Im sooo tired

Thank you guys for all your advice. My comets are still not well. I have got the water not bad now I think ph 6.6 Amm 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10. I think maybe they might have Hemorrhagic Septicemia. Because they have also been over a few months been losing there scales as well as the bloody streaks in there fins so I am thinking of treating with furan2. Can anyone advise me on this if they think its the right thing to be doing. There tank water currently has melifix in it.

I have taken phots of my very sick fish but dont see how I add them help please http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL287/11 ... 731944.jpg http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL287/11 ... 731932.jpg I hope this worked Thanks olly I originaly started a tread in fresh water titled please help please help. With all the details on what is going on sorry I am all over the place and in a bit of a panic I hope someone can help

So does anyone know how many ltrs are in the average size bath tub

Ok thanks Ron will do that.

OHHHH Really I didnt know that thanks Ron for that info um any ideas how to fix his nose diving problem. So should I take him out of the melifix.

Thanks Caryl I think it may be a bit of stress too. but still concerned about the red streaks in their tails it just doesnt look right and would like to know if there is something else I can do for the oranda that keeps going nose down any more suggestions are very welcomed Thank you.

Hi so glad to hear from you will will try and take some photos later not too good at that. I have been thinking of letting my fish go to a friends pond I think I will they are very fast and do feel guilty but still glad I rescued them the blind one has no eyes at all he was like it when I got him. My 4 fish are still not happy. They started lurking on the bottom after they finished breeding again and the oranda was added 2 days before they had more eggs. just want to fix these guys up so they can go to the pond. I just dont know what to do next if I should add anything to there tank or what. The oranda seems to be happy most of the time but is still floating at the top any suggestion on what to do for him. I also have another tank with 8 commets babys form my four that were born 5 months ago they are doing fine fingers crossed. Would be great to talk to the other person in Hokitika too.

Hi to all I am all new to this website I hope someone can help me. I live in Hokitika and there is not really anywhere to go to get medications of advice for fish. I have a 100ltr tank with 4 commets they seemed to be doing fine until my mother in law brought me a oranda for my Birthday. I noticed the Oranda had swimming problems like nose diving and he had 3 white dots on top of his head in a couple of days he had more white dots with a bit of stingy sort of cotton stuff coming off a couple of them so I put him in another tank feed him peas and is on the 4th day of melifix I only just found out I should of quarinened him first. So it looks like white spots are getting better but he still floats to the top and would go right over if he didnt correct himself any suggestions on this. Now in my 100ltr tank the my commets started showing sighns of stress lying on the bottom a couple have devaloped alot of red bloody veins or streaks through there tails. Ammonia was high and ph low have finally got that down ph 6.6 ammonia 0.25 nitrite 0 nitrate 20. Is the streaks an indication of ammonia poison. All 4 fish lye on the bottom one of them swims in circles he is blined but has never done this. the other some times swims but gets nowhere. What can I do please please help
