Long story short some kind of internal sickness is slowly killing off the tank. 125 semi planted. This all started about a few months ago, everyone was fine, then at feeding time 1 fish looked like a giant pinecone (nothing the previous day) then was dead in the am. Week later another fish was hiding its head more than usual in the plants, after 3 days of that, put him in QT, kanaplex, dead next morning. Few weeks pass all is good....... week before I go out of town my big orange oranda started bottom sitting so I mixed up kanaplex in the gel food and fed for 7 days, she no longer bottom sat and everything was all good. My sister house sitting messaged me 2 days ago says she was sitting on the bottom again, I was gonna be back sunday and was going to treat again...... well she died yesterday the next day after she started bottom sitting again.................... WTF is going on? There are 0 new fish in this tank oldest is 3, no frayed fins, no disease, no external parasites, no bulges they all eat, no new plants NOTHING. They bottom sit for a day or 2 and drop dead. Is kanaplex not enough? Longer than 7 days treatment? ANything else I can mix in with the gel food? I have 6 left (3 rip) and then I quit.
SMall update made another round of kanaplex/repashy bit bigger batch this time to last 10-14 days.
