The meds are probably making him feel a little worse than he already did. The gasping is much less, and I believe the current from the bubble bar was aggrivating him a little so I trimmed back my fluval gph a little bit to make the water a little calmer and the temp in his tank has dropped back down to 80 so that I could cut back on the aeration... Nothing much else that I can think of to do, but I'm hoping the eating problem is just the meds, and with the large amount of clean water he got this evening maybe he'll want a nice brunch tomorrow in the am. It looks to me that some of the ick may have fallen off but honestly its hard to tell. I have used this method with my o's for ick before with great success(I bought them at wally world and the ick was like a door prize). They never did lose there appetite for destroying anything edible though. The meds require two more doses to finish the cycle, every three days followed by a 50% WC 24 hours later..... Pain in the butt. By the way what temp do you keep your silvers tank at liz?
