Hey all,
I just had a trojan fish come into a tank and now have had all three fish in that tank die. He seemed healthy for over a week so I tossed him in with others. They ended up with Ich, mouth fungus, eye cloud, body slime...the list goes on and on. Water parameters were fine. I think that stress caused the onset of disease.
Anyway, now I am sucking out all of the water and throwing away the gravel (I was thinking of a more natural color anyway...it was blue) and am wondering what to do to make sure that I kill off whatever is in the tank and filters...will probably buy all new media and cycle the tank (with or without fish, not sure yet).
Would a high salt conc. (2% or more) and a pile of pond strength melafix kill off whatever may still be in there?
