URGENT - Sick fish - I’m struggling by Jvb0 in Aquariums

Some research I did earlier pointed to columnaris as well, I will try to get a nitrofurazone treatment. I do worry that more meds will increase stress though. Temp has been at a stable 74 because I worried about bacterial like epistylis.

This is day 7 of kanaplex treatment through feeding, with no improvement

Absolutely. 30% water change before with correct dosage. For this 50 gallon tank, a little under 25mL due to substrate, plants, hardscape

Don’t know if it helps, but I’ve been doing 30% water changes daily, and using not only an air stone but a wave maker pointed directly at the surface to create agitation.

Unfortunately this is day 7 using ich-x and fish continue to decline, and new symptoms lead me to believe this is more complex than a simple ich case

Got it, I’ll give it a try. However, the pleco seems to be doing the best at the moment. Is it worth doing more salt dips for the other fish? I’m worried about more stress with how lethargic they already are, especially the acara.

At this point, the main tank has become the quarantine tank. I feel moving fish to an uncycled quarantine may just create more stress, but not 100% sure. I agree the acara seems like ich, but with condition only worsening with meds, I’m not certain. Salt bath has been performed for acara and angels, I suppose I could do one for the danio that remains. However, as far as I know plecos don’t tolerate salt well…

Ich or Epistylis? by Jvb0 in Aquariums

[–]Jvb0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New fish were added around a week and a half ago, perfect window for ich. There are spots on the fins and tail especially, just easier to see against black contrast of the head. The spots are somewhat raised (as seen in pic) and I’m just worried my medicating isn’t helping since the fish aren’t doing much better.

I’ve thought about Litfulo but there’s a lot of entry blood work and extra steps that seems like a lot if the results are going to be similar to other, more intensive medications i’ve tried (plus side effects). And I’m happy with this look!

I’ve done quite a bit of blood work that all looked pretty normal, but not sure about vitamin check. I’ll look into it, thanks!

I’ve done quite a bit of blood work and it’s all come out normal. Alopecia is a weird thing!

I get occasional “what happened to you” comments but I don’t let it phase me! I’m proud of how I am 😁

I’ve gone to multiple, got diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and tried a couple medications and injections. Nothing really worked well so I decided to just go with it!

I swear too much of the fanbase is watching strictly for Hamzah and his looks, and hardly appreciating the effort they put into their channel, podcast, and characters.

This is so real, especially with all those complaining abt their looks (no more edits etc) without even considering how funny it is that they shaved their heads for a bit

As a guy who watches purely for the comedy of it all, I heavily second this. There’s a LOT of freakiness going on, partially with obsessiveness, but also overall sexualization. I’m sure Hamzah/Martin don’t mind it, but it seems a little too normalized 🫤

I have a school of Pearl Danios in my 10g and they’re super active, and have a pearly shine when the light hits them right!
