soysauce Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 behind the eye it is getting better now , if u look there s a red mark it comes out starts out almost like a fungil infection but one thats brought on by stress , the pop eye on my one ram as well as the fungil by the other ones eye all started after a move , they ve been in dif tanks so dont think its the water , tested the water and the P.H was 7.2 now at 6.4 AMM 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0 and feeding on Thera A and added garlic guard so cant understand it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Sometimes stuff just happens and is hard to pin point why. What sort of tank do you have and how often do you do waterchanges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soysauce Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 i do water changes once a week 30% i have 4 gold rams , 7 discus , one royal pleco,one king tiger, an 21 neons i have a rio 240 an a aqua one 510 the fact that only my rams got sick an the fact that it happened in def tanks an that it only happened durring a move i think maybe maybe its due to the PH change from the move but got dif things is strange dunno i heard of others that have gold rams witht the same problem my electric blues an my veit tail blues havent got it !!!!!!!

phoenix44 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 He didn't get little spots (kinda like pimples / dots) on his head before that happened did he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soysauce Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 yes not the pop eye one tho, but yes was kinda like a pimpel , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah.... not much you can do about that. It can take months for them to manifest, but it's almost certainly a killer. have a search through these posts with the author "oscnz" to see what the disease is. It came in with the veil tail blue rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soysauce Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 they recon its a worm like lil thingie so how about using prazzi on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soysauce Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 if it is a worm then the fungil is a secondary infection maybe due to the worm bracking the skin of the fish so then the pop eye might have been the worm comin out scew hitting the eye instead of behind the eye , so is this (wom) maybe brought out when the fish is under stress :nilly: kinda like lymph( fish warts ) what you think guys/ girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
