why the 10 gallon?

in my experiences u should only use salt w an armatus (no meds).

the prob is water conditions

the solution is salt and waterchanges every day

fix it b4 it becomes permanent!
 
thx ,I checked him after 4hour,water got cloudy and he didn't look good at all but I don't have time to do water change because i have to go to work .when i get back i would change a water and use only salt, so what do you guy think?
 
NO MEDS WITH ARMATUS!

Dont listen to people who have never kept this fish. Also my advice is to take him out of the ten gallon ASAP! Put him back in his bigger tank, raise the temp to 86-87 and keep salt at a ratio of about 1tbls/3-4gallons of water for 48 hours then drop the ratio to 1tbls/5 gallons of water and keep it there until it heals. Hell I would always keep salt at that level. It is good for the fish.
 
ok, i moved him back to 300 gallons already.when i got back home water in 10 gallons was so cloudy that i can't even see him.for the update he looked a little bit better .now i will treat him with salt but i think i have to put him back in 10 gallons because i don't have any tank that bigger than 10 gallons .if i use my 300 gallons that going to cost me a lot for the salt.i will update more pic
so,what should i do next?
 
No, keep him in the 300, and just treat everything in there at the same time. One tablespoon per 2-3 gallons will be fine. Listen to JD. He knows what he's talking about with these fish. Do 75 tablespoons tonight and 75 more in the morning.

You're trying to keep this fish at the lowest stress level possible. Moving him back and forth between 300 and 10 gallons isn't going to help his case.

Make sure he's eating. I nursed mine back to health on the salt regimen, and my fish was way worse off than yours. I also am now keeping about one tablespoon per every 1/2 gallon permanently as well.
 
thx jd7 ,for the mortons salt ,so it is going to be the same 1tbls/3-4gallons ?
i will keep an update (pic) today
thx guy
