Also was it shipped? Since it did develop ich it must be really stressed. Sure nothing is bothering it?
Is something wrong with my dat.
- Thread starter conig
- Start date
It doesn't matter how trustworthy the soure is. A tiger can carry gill flukes for ages and be totally healthy and fine...
However put new fish under stress, move to new tank and/ or weakened immune system can allow the gill flukes to multiply and start overcoming the dats defence mechanisms.
Keep doing +35-40% wc's, and add that stuff everyone says.. Coppersafe. I ain't never used it but many members seem to think it's good. u can try adding salt too. Hope ur widebar makes it. Is it eatin still?
Can u attach a picture perhaps?

guys what I really need to know is can I add copersafe without some kind of chemical reaction??
Another fish has started to scrape its gills on the sand. Another indicator its flukes. I've kept multiple tanks in excess of 20 years. Ich doesn't bother me at all its like the common cold. This however does.

no pics, theres really not much to see.
No he is not eating, he is rejecting everything I try to feed him. He is in a critter keeper inside the main tank.

A week tommorrow without eating.
no visible white spots for a couple days now, but red gills and mouth. very rapid breathing mouthing the surface of the water. I have two 300gph powerhead on full aeration so I doubt true oxygen is the problem even at warmer temps.

Sorry for your loss man.. Can somebody post info on gill flukes since it seems to have been the cause? Seems somewhat like ick where all fishes have it and it shows with high stress levels?
