ok i noticed about 4days ago my acara was having difficult swimming i could only use its fins near its gills, she now can but not strongly also she isnt eating a lot and she is going grey on the body and her head is like a browny colour and her fins look abit fin at places. i recently had ick treated it with protozin from waterlife and she has appeared to have it again so iam treating it with the same medication also with melafix iam treating it because my lfs said it maybe fin rot or another desease, the tank is over stocked as iam getting another 2 big tanks to shuffle out my fish she did have a bite or a fungus on her i throught she just got into a fight with someone else. i have been doing 10-15 WC a day but have not done 1 for 2 days for other reasons will do 1 bigger 1 to catch up. has anyone seen this desease before and what should i do. heres pictures of her she seems to be detearoating as the days go on. more and better pictures can be taken and put on quite quick if needed, PLEASE HELP:eek:
