Babyruby Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have 6 clown loaches which I noticed 2 weeks ago have hole like markings all over the bodys, I have been treating them in a hospital tank for the past 2 weeks with Malform, it has decreased but doesn't appear to be going away, and they aren't eating in this tank as it's alot smaller then their 4FT tank. Other then that it doesn't really seem to be worrying them they aren't flashing around or trying to scratch on stones or anything. Any suggestions on what it may be??

Babyruby Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Skippy, it does look alot like like that actually, I will try and get some pics but no garantees on it thought as they all hide in one small bell together and only come out at night, but will have a go...

oO SKIPPY Oo Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I ended up getting the KH and GH tests and my readings were quite low - thats when i used the aquadur to up the levels - its been about 5 weeks since i started with the aquadur and im fairly sure the biggest hole that was behind the eye of my Severum has started healing up as its not as noticable as it has been and of the 3 that were on the face only 1 is left. i upped the GH and KH by 1 or 2 degrees and that so far has helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
