[AquaticLife] Disease question
Thanks Lenny. I’m doing 25 to 30% PWC weekly. Do you think I should be doing more? All of the fish in the tank get along well, each going about doing its own thing with very little interaction among each other. The more shy fish seem to stay more secluded and the more extroverted ones act accordingly. I was going by the old (killing) rule of 1 in per gal of water. I now know better, but it is to late. I will just do the best I can with what I’ve got. I am afraid that things will get worse as the fish get larger. The injuries did not seem to be external. The bulge within started first, then the anal fin notch started and increased slowly in size. A few days after one fish died the second one showed the first signs of the disease. It started the same way with a bulge above (mid-body) the anal fin in the same area. I don’t think it was started by a nip. I think it started internally and then spread into the anal fin. It seems odd that it occurred twice to the same species of fish in the same area of its body. The fish acted normal until the disease was very advanced. Jimmy McHaney Husser, LA
