Hey guys, please help me out.
My fish are little so I know this can take its toll fast.
It's my 30 gallon, been doing this a over 25 years and only had inch a couple times and 1or 2 parasite cases, now I've only got 2 tanks, my 125 and this 30.
It's been set up for 4-5months.
5 little Bolivian Rams from reputable source, 10 tiny espei rasboras from great source. Some amono shrimp and cherry shrimp. Some assassin snails. Eco complete, live plants, current lighting. Aqua clear 75 I think it was.
The shrimp breed like crazy, everything super feisty and up till now, would eat anything.
I feed only high quality varied diet.
Always test water.
Nothing added to this tank for months.
No live food.
Ph around 7.5
Nitrite 0
Nitrate maybe 10
Ammonia 0
Temps 78
Weekly water changes now and then small 15 per cents in between.
One ram I noticed started to get one cloudy eye, along with a white cloudiness around the same side of his face, did not look like fuzz.
Stomach more sunken than the others.
Begs for food, feisty, but spits the food back out, clear stringy crap.
Pulled him to a 6 gallon hospital tank, 79 degrees and power head bare bottom. Added a little Melafix .
That's been 2 days, he's not doing good. Other eye now cloudy.
The other 4 Rams are feisty as hell. Begging for food, look plump and overall healthy, but now starting to spit the food out, clear stringy crap, same with most the rasboras.
I've read their are some good things that won't hurt the shrimp.
I would love to be able to just treat the main tank.
Not try to get them all in hospital tanks.
Also I read it can be in the tank too, not just the fish.
Anyways, sorry it's been so long since I've been on here, been crazy busy, deaths in the family and just a crap last year.
I'm insisting on this being a good year
Added a pic of the 125 for fun.
Love you all, thanks for any help.
