Need help - tank might be infested with something!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Got the salt and PrizaPro? from the fish store tonight. I did 35% water change and kept thinking why the fish is twitching, then I noticed is not twitching, it's scratching itself with it's fins (parasites)? I estimated that the tank has about 110-120g of water in it after the water change. Added about 10 tablespoon of salt for about 50g; don't want to shock the fish, will add more gradually. Then added the PrizaPro. ALL the fishes started acting weird; Arowana was twitching like crazy and yawning and just stayed at the bottom of the tank for about 5-8 mins. The dats yawned and starting flexing it's gill plates for few mins. Seems like the Med is already kicking in. I hope everything works out. Not going to be able to check on the tank until Sunday night because leaving town. Pretty sure its ok to not feed the fish until Sunday night. Should I ask my brother to come and feed the fish over the weekend or just leave it? Thanks for any input.
 
I would have someone check them for you yes. I would also increase oxygen in tank. Always a good idea when medicating. Pics could help you ID the problem. I am leary of treating for something if I don't know what it is.
 
I just noticed some kind of worm in the tank; about 1.5cm long and whitish clear zig zaging in the water. What is the best med to kill them off? I've use the PrizaPro - might need to increase the dose. What other med is recommended?
