GrahamC Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Would be useful to have more information on fish species, and chemical measures of water. Causes include incorrect pH, parasites, and infection from trauma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 water conditions are perfect crystal clear water Tells us nothing, the water can be as clear as gin and still be toxic. As Graham has said, more info is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 They sometimes graze themselves on rocks, keep water quality up add salt and I drop meth blue or tonic directly on the eye to prevent infection setting in and eating the eye.

mcmillanm Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Not sure of LFS near you but Hollywood Fish Farm sell it. They are in Mt Roskill and Albany and also courier. Not sure about animates, you may need to ring first. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
