So I have a pacu in a 125 with a red tail and 2 channel cats. One of my canister filters began cycling much weaker for some reason and now the water has a brownish tint.I didn’t notice it because that tank has a blue light so I could not tell the water was fouling. I had a red devil and some red hooks in there as well but I have moved them all to separate tanks. Most of the fish began behaving quite lethargic and refusing food. I noticed yesterday my pacu’s eyes are cloudy and his skin seems very dull and ashy. I’ve done a 50 percent water change and added normal dosing of prime.
my question is how to treat this other than just water changes? And did I diagnose this properly?
Lastly before anyone jumps on me I know the tank is too small I have a 450 gallon that will be here by December 16th from Joe at glass cages. Just trying to keep the fish alive until then. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated
