Your going to have to remove the fish to treat it... Treatment that is needed can not be done in a community of fish. What do you have available to move the fish to?

definitely agree.

also, i don't have time right now to go through all the calculations for salinity, and i haven't done any of them since tearing down my old SW tank. i usually only use salt in treatments, and at those times measure via concentration of tbsp/gal as opposed to anything needing a salinity meter or refractometer.

anyway, the fish will have to be moved if it is not responding to this treatment, and that will make it easier to do water changes as well. even a 20g long should work, but something a bit bigger would be preferable. a rubbermaid can also work well as they are durable and allow for a lot of surface area.--

I have a 50 gal long planted and it has 3 Burundi Gibberosa growing out in it. Will that do? And now what, how do I proceed.

Can you get a 32 gallon rubbermaid tub? If so get it in there.... Your going to need to isolate this fish for detailed treatment.

Yeah, I have about 50 or so of those in my house. My wife is a fanatic about getting storage containers for everything. She has storage containers for the storage containers:nilly:. So now what? How do I proceed? I mean, the fish is not in distress at all. She eats very well and is very active. If anything, this has maybe stunted her growth a little due to the added exertion in trying to keep herself level. :popcorn:

Get a tub cycled and we will proceed from there... If you can in the mean time get video of the fish get a hold of Solomon or I and we can take a look at it. You can PM either of us and we will tell you how to deal with the files.
 
I can pretty much do that instantly. I'll just put an AC110 on it from the 50 that doesn't really need 2 and also add a 250 stealth heater from my 300 that has 4 on it and we are in business. What I need to know is now what do you suggest after that?
