MorknMindy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I bought two kissing gourami's a couple of weeks ago, they were both very skinny and I ended up taking one back to the shop as it didn't eat. The second one seemed fine until today when I noticed one of its eyes seem to be cloudy. Has anyone got any idea what might have caused this? I have just added 6 harlequins and 9 tiger barbs to the tank so could it be caused by stress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Sounds like you need to invest in a Quarantine tank to stop cross infections. Think about it. Is it worthwhile adding a sick fish to you collection only for it to infect the rest of your tank. Even to the extreme of wiping it out. Just need to set it up to the same water parameters as your main tank. Bare bottomed, and with a box filter running in it. Have a guppy or two in it and they'll keep the tank in the cycled condition, while the tank is not required for quarantining. I'd suggest actually, to have two box filters in it. Then when you are going into quarantine mode, flick one into the main tank while the other gets contaminated, and then it will require a full cleansing for the next setup. The one you flicked out can now go back into the newly setup q. tank and there will be little or no trouble with your cycled tank.
