help pearsei cichlid hurt please !!!! help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm a tad bit confused how you're so lost about this but you're handing out advice in other threads like it ain't no thang... I would add some salt and bump up the temperature a little. I don't know if anyone else does that but it always seemed to work for me when my fish get rough. I hope this helps you out.
ok i will do that in my pearseis tank and i will put some stress zyme plus in my tanks
 
omg when i was trying to turn the temp up on the heater he went crazy and crashed into everything in the tank and hi is dying what caused it is it being stressed from the catfish or something else
 
i will cycle the tank the right way i will take ll the water out then fill the tank with new water thenteat the water evry day i will see the amonia levels rising then i will see amonia going down but nitrite is going up then nitrate levels will rise and nitrite levels will go down i once red up about it
 
he acchally might live i just did a water change and put hot water back in the tank i also added salt and tap water conditionor
 
oscaroo, I understand you're a kid (don't know how old exactly), but we have given you the sound advice of leaving the fish be. We're trying to REDUCE STRESS, so clanking things around the tank and changing the temperature isn't helping. LEAVE HIM ALONE for a few days and stop with the "OMG, he's going to die....wait, now he's good" updates every two hours. Good luck.
 
i am not trying to be annoying guys i just used a bunch of Christmas money on chemicals and i owe my dad 10 dollars i think i have a bigger problem an outbrake in my 75 galon and my 65 gallon i feel horrible about this and every dollar i get will go to my fish at this point i think i can save them with a lot of help and support thanks for all the great advice everyone cheers my 75 gallon might have an out brak or it might be stress
 
me and my dad read up about it and we found out that fish can't fight parasites when they are stressed and he is stressed i did add some life gaurd to the 65 gallon and i added some stress zyme plus and some Bactria supplment and tap water dechlorinator and some stress coat plus and some aquarium salt we might change the filter in my 65 gallon today the light is off too
 
dude, relax. read the thread 5 more times and maybe you'll get it. I used to stress out over my ebjds when they were little because of everything i read on the internet about them being soft... usually the smallest of adjustments was always the better.. water changes, water quality, NO STRESS, and PATIENCE... turned out they were one of the hardiest fish ive ever had.

OK OK. Lets read this post one more time. You said "omg when i was trying to turn the temp up on the heater he went crazy and crashed into everything in the tank." It sounds like what may be stressing your fish out, is a faulty heater. If he started to freak out because you turned up the heater, maybe the heater every time it turns on, it is shocking your fish. Take the heater out and inspect for cracks or cuts in the cord. If you have a spare heater, replace the one that was in there.

Also, you are over medicating. You are adding all this crap and you expect the fish to NOT stress out? Come on, wouldnt you stress out if you were doing that to yourself? Remove the heater, replace the heater, stop medicating, and just do water changes. Increase your temp (with a new heater) to 82 add some salt, and leave him be.
