Hi im Chris and i had many problems with my tank since i bought it. I bought it used from someone with 16 fish in it and they all died in the next 2 month i had the tank. I completely cleaned my tank with hot water and let it dry for a month to kill any water bacterias and it was good for around 3 months but now my problem seems to be back.
I now have a freshwater stingray wich measure approx 12-14inchs and i do 50% water change every week, my water is crystal clear and every water change i use Fluval- Biological Enhancer and i use Nutrafin- Tap water conditioner for chlorine.
My stingray's skin started to peel all over his body, my ammonia level is between 0 and 0.15(not more than that, i tested it 2 hours ago after doing a 50% water change). My nitrate level is around 50-100 and i tried many water changes to lower that and it doesnt but the guy from the petstore told me its not dramatic, is it really ?
I feed him 1 full spoon for sinking pellets every evening.
He lives with a 5 inchs Severum, a 4 inchs green terror and a 10-12 inch black ghost knife. They all look good except i noticed a very tiny ich spot on my green terror wich i treater with some Melafix.
I had the same problem with my previous fish (i had 2x32 inchs hi-fin sharks, a very huge jack dempsey and many more like the fish we call the ''singer''). They started to die very slowly and the sharks started to have they skin peeled and when they were about to die its like they were suffocating, i held one of my sharks in my hand for 35 hours straight until a petshop guy was able to come to my place and then he put some product in the tank and it completely killed all the rest of my fishs including the sharks. That is exactly why i am here today, i dont want that to happen again and my stingray (Raymond) has started to have the skin peeling all over his body.
Here is some pictures of the disease, i have noticed the skin peeling is everywhere on his body even on his tail but the worst part seem to be the one you see on the pictures.
i have a 1:13 video wich i could share but i think since i am a new member i am not autorized to share links yet.
Please help me
