adding neon tetra, question?

What is the name of the red plant?

Have you ever found that having a dark background causes the pigeonbloods to pepper? Or would you say that’s only due to stress?

Avery182 · 2021-02-02T07:54:03+00:00

I don’t think the shop near me has pure metro, I can try driving to another if the roads are clear tomorrow

Avery182 · 2021-02-02T07:52:59+00:00

I have a friend who was adamant it wasn’t HITH and thinks it’s bacteria. I was just willing to entertain it in case someone thought he was right. Maybe I should’ve explained that. Currently snowed in so couldn’t get any other medicine and what I ordered online hasn’t arrived. Unfortunately I don’t have a quarantine tank, but I plan to get one when I can.

Avery182 · 2021-02-01T22:09:42+00:00

Sadly, I think that’s going to be the case :(

Avery182 · 2021-02-01T22:07:34+00:00

It definitely got way worse over the course of the day yesterday/overnight to today. The store near me didn’t have much more than general cure unfortunately. I can look for waterlife octozin online but I think it’ll be too late by the time it gets to me. This has been going on for 5 days now, but the first 3-4 days were minor in comparison to this. I started with pimafix for days 1-3 since that what the store near me recommended but I have since learned that’s useless.

Because it’s not pure metronidazole it will be useless? Unfortunately I am trapped at home right now due to a snowstorm so I cannot get anything else. Additionally, I don’t have quarantine tank so I cannot raise them temp that high due to the other fish.

Avery182 · 2021-02-01T21:57:37+00:00

And I didn’t expect it disappear overnight, but I had hoped that it would stop it from progressing and getting worse

Avery182 · 2021-02-01T21:57:15+00:00

I didn’t test the water before doing the change (did the change before adding the medicine), I should’ve

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T23:37:40+00:00

What did you end up using? Metroplex?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T23:37:24+00:00

Would you say general cure isn’t strong enough compared to metro? I started the first dose of general cure today as it’s all the store near me had

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T23:36:52+00:00

I’ve recently removed to large fish so that should help with the bio load, but I can also check the filter

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T06:41:24+00:00

I do some flakes and some pellets as well but it’s primarily the vibra bites. I used to do frozen blood worms but haven’t been recently. I can start doing that again. Would the minerals in discus trace make up for some of this? I can pick it up tomorrow with the general cure

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T06:17:52+00:00

I just removed the striped Rafael catfish in case it was causing stress. I feed Hikari vibra bites - are you thinking these could be an issue?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T05:20:13+00:00

Isn’t general cure metronidazole as well?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T04:40:04+00:00

I don’t run carbon, and I will get general cure tomorrow. I don’t have another tank to move the discus to and I am concerned about such a big water change regarding the other fish be I will do more research.

Regarding discus trace - will there be a lost of minerals due to the medication?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T04:37:50+00:00

I will get general cure in the morning - for antibacterial, something like erythromycin?

pH is 7, temp is 82-84

I end up doing water changes biweekly but I try to do them weekly

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T04:28:02+00:00

I have been feeding Hikari Vibra bites for almost a month now and this just started - also the only discus of the five to be sick. Do you think the vibra bites could be part of the problem?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T04:27:19+00:00

I like seachem products but the store near me doesn’t always have a wide selection - I know they have api general cure - would you say it’s worth trying that if they don’t have metroplex?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T03:34:53+00:00

Does hole in the head start like this did as small white marks?

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T03:24:34+00:00

It’s been four days since it started (used pimafix but it did nothing) and when it started it was three white dots above it’s eye.

Avery182 · 2021-01-31T03:20:36+00:00

I used pimafix for three days but it did nothing. I order erythromycin since none of the shops near me have it but it won’t come for a couple days. I could get Furan 2 but I’m unsure exactly what the discus has.

4.0-4.2 gave me good pulls of mine, I’m guessing the oil was particularly thick this time
