Raise temp to 85 and add aquarium salt (make sure to disolve it in water first) 2 teaspoons per gallon. You can buy it at Walmart. Give it time and it will will look clear in a week or so. Just a heads up raising the temp will make the icks life cycle faster so it'll look bad for a bit. Good luck. And actually make sure your nitrates and ammonia levels are low or at zero. Flowerhorn are hardy fish so I don't think meds would be needed
Should I wait a couple months then move this flowerhorn to 30 gallon? Or move it now.
Because my tank is on the floor and yesterday the water leaked and it go down where the electricity is, like a box of it. I have no where to put my tank, and why the electricity is on the ground instead of higher? Idk but all I know is that my house was built in 1881, and We're using the top 1 most dangerous electricity. I was lucky it didn't leak in or go under the refrigerator.
My 30 gallon is in the same room but it is up on a counter or whatever you call it. And right next to the sink so it is easier and yeah.
Because I started to see cracks or glass kinda starting to break in my 55 gallon, because it's on the floor and I move it too much
I know you didn't ask me, but for the safety of everyone I'd say move it now. Water and electricity is not to be taken lightly. I'm sure it can handle being in the 30gl till you can get a bigger tank that won't leak.
The more you move the fish the more it will be stressed and the longer it's going to take your fish to heal. If your tank is leaking it would probably be in the best interest of your fish to get it to another tank before it drains out. And make sure that tank is not leaking onto an outlet.... that's got bad news written all over it. Make sure the parameters are good in the 30 gallon before you move it. That FH will be good in a 30 gallon for a few months before it needs moved. Good luck
