4 hours later and a little update

White streak of slime

There are white streak all over my tank now and they are not water marks, they are from the inside. They don't look like worms to me, just some white slime

What do you think?

This is what I saw a few night ago >.<;; at 2am! x.x

Temperature is at 28.3 celsius

So how's it doing today? Any improvements?

No improvement in the last 4 hours, the top layer (lense) is peeling out, but Im not sure if thats the slime or the eye itself (its white)

My dat had that for a few days and it recovered on its own. My tank was clear, though, and non of the other fish had it. Your cause might have been different from mine. If he's still eating and you've added salt and increased water changes, about all you can do is wait and see. Good luck and keep us posted.

do water changes everyday...often often often. keep the temp up and add salt. I'd still go for a quarantine tank (even a tiny one) if you have any spare equipment lying around. this will GREATLY ease treating your dat and also diminish the possibilities of harm to your other fish. A quarantine tank is always a good thing to have anyways, and the startup cost for a quarantine tank is a fraction of what you have payed for your fish. Think of it as an insurance policy.
When the film appeared on my quarantine tank, i would scrape it off and let it settle, and then perform a careful water change trying to remove all of the sludge. I would do this daily while ensuring adequate temp and salt.
Hopefully this works and problem solved. I would follow up with a salt or praziquantel bath and an anti-bacterial depending on any damamge left on the fish.
Keep us posted!

i'd be curious as to what the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are just since you hadn't posted those, just the temp. Someone asked if the tank was cycled and you hadn't answered that either, is it? I know you've got a filter on it, but is it cycled?
The problems you're having are almost always due to poor water quality. You said you're changing water every day. How much water are you changing?

Im not sure if you got the correct salt but here is a pic of Freshwater Aquarium Salt. I did read you had table sat and thats a "No,No"

This is the correct Salt to use. And make sure you read the instructions cause it has to be dissolved FIRST. G/L

25% of water change a day now, and the stats are all zero! and the water is come from a mature 55G discus tank (my dad's) should be perfectly cycle

a little update

-no improvement on the eye
-took out the java moss and anubis
-but the fish is getting VERY AGGRESSIVE
-due to hungar (want to eat feeders)

Just to let you know-the benificial bacteria isn't in the water from a cycled tank. It's in the filter media/sponge, etc. So that's not cycling a tank.

Then let him eat the feeders. Once and if you can get him healthy... then try to get him off live food (inless he is already off live foods)

and agree with it not being in a cycled tank. Benificial Bacteria (BB) is in the filters

Any news on condition?
