haha, but my ornatum just frickn spit out his food , i tired flakes, pellets, and brine shrimp,^^ just donate them to the Sac town crew and we will fix them right up
The time you waste posting here try Google instead. Trying to help you is really frustrating. An Ornatum with possible bloat in with Discus that are extremely bloat prone? Not to mention aggression issues? Clearly you are in over your head. Back up and try something less touchy. I mean that in the nicest way possible. Rare centrals aren't easy and I spent years raising oscars, dempsey's and convicts before getting into rare stuff. It takes good experience to have success with these fish. Now please follow the directions already given multiple times and report back in a few days that they are doing well.
Man, I would go ahead and try the advice that has already been given to you multiple times. From reading this thread it seems that you have already lost a lot of time on the same questions, time that should have been devoted to actually trying to treat your fish. If you wait much longer before you try anything your fish will either become worse or they will die. On many of your threads you tend not to listen until things get extremely out of hand (Like the non-stop fish purchases). Then that problem turns into another thread with much of the same results. You frustrate a lot of people that would gladly help you to the point which they just give up and ignore your problems. Don't make things harder for yourself. You have the information that you need to attempt to solve your problems. It's now just a matter of applying it. I hope everything works out for you.
i have been following what they told on the first pages they said use prazi n metro but all i had was prazi i i bought prazi and treated my tank , now they say treat with clout so i bought clout and treated the tank, now all i need is epsom salt and a syringe to do the next treatment, this whole time i have been posting i have been medicating my tank, so wtf do i do when the tank is medicating for 36 hours, i will tell you what, i post on this thread getting more and more ideas to try lol .. sorry i offend you guys but each treatment i let happen for 36 hours then i waterchange and try the next
Still not listening. Can the mods close this thread? Is this what I can expect when my kids are teenagers? Lol.
this was unnecessary sure he's been a bit slow to react but at least he is trying a little.
I'll leave my last advice for you
For your festae with the bad slice in his side, he or she needs to be alone in a smaller tank, 10-20 gallons max, over a week slowly lower the temp to about 75 and start treating for bacterial infections with clout. keep feeding the festae with higher protein foods, live if possible but not live fish. watch your festae really closely. and if you want you can also treat it with epsom salt.
Now your ornatum, It NEEDS TO BE ALONE. put it in its own tank, its size will be fine in a 10g tank for a few weeks, treat with epsom salt but in water and with a needle, treat according to RD's recommendation. also Treat with metro, both in water and with a needle, if you can't get metro walmart has jungle meds, check and make sure it has metro in it and use that. keep temps over 86, not bellow, you can even go to 88-89 to make sure it isnt bellow 86. BE VERY GENTLE WITH THIS FISH!!!
And remember Water change daily and refill with epsom treated water. If you don't have 10g tanks go get some =p if possible
also don't forget to try feeding the ornatum while treating as it will show you when it is feeling better, DO NOT DELAY THIS ANY FURTHER IF YOU WANT YOUR FISH TO STAY AROUND. go to a pet store and get live worms, preferably earth worms and small meal worms and silk worms if you want.
