Im having the WORST luck with my rtc x marble! First he had the anchor worms, and was breathing heavy, NOW his belly looks to be a little bloated, and has sores on it! He had one this morning, now he has four! All the rest of my fish in that tank are doing great. So I moved him to one of those tubs to be by himself. I had put some Clout in for the worms, what else should I do! He cant even swim right anymore. He will swim is circles upside down, or on his side. I feel like a failer! PLEASE HELP!

go to u'r lfs and pick up some melafix. treat with that for about a week and do frequent water changes. bout 20% a day. just make sure to remove any carbon you have.

will the stuff i put in already be out? I didnt take the carbon out. and i half dosed it.

 

[kntrygrl4lyfe]

....? is he going to be ok for tonight?

 

[bukster]

the carbon will definitely neutralize the stuff in there now. also might want to think about adding a lil more salt. bout .3% and raise the temp a lil as well. will help the stresscoat and immune system. gl

 

[kntrygrl4lyfe]

should i try to add a little bit more?

 

[bukster]

hopefully will be ok over the night. it's hard to tell how fast this stuff hits em sometimes.

I agree with the above statements, just remember that if you are increasing the temps and salt you may also want to increase in amount of aireation in the tank as they can't asorb oxygen as well at higher temps, but it usually will kill anything bad in the tank. Salt works miracles sometimes.
