Help!! is my orino sick?

[mthao105]

i was watching my orino today and it was scratching on the heater . the temp is at 88 degrees so i don't know if it has ick or not and what is the best med for it.

No meds! If the temp is at 88 youre fine. I would just do a treatment of Stress Coat. He might be losing his slime coat for whatever reason and Stress Coat is a miracle product for those kinds of things. NO MEDS!!

agreed... how big is he?

 

[mthao105]

hes about 3 1/2 inches

 

[bOOsteN aUdI]

keep your temp high and you should be fine

 

[mthao105]

thanks for the advice guys

 

[bOOsteN aUdI]

remember 87- 88 and feed him well.. do you see any white spots?

 

[mthao105]

no but hes not really eating he only eats here and there

 

[bOOsteN aUdI]

not good.. do a water change.. whats your nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, ph?

Along with the water change I would add some salt. Non-Iodized or Aquarium salt.
