Soon i hope m8, gna need it pretty quick but dont wana rush it, still planning a few tweaks. U either get it right 1st time or not at all ;)

Back on topic, my ph=7.0, weyhey u say haha, amonia=0.25, nitrites=0.25, nitrates=20-40ppm, couldnt tell with the nitrates as the color wasnt exact to the chart but it did still look like 40ppm. KH=7dgh, GH=11dgh. so it looks to me like all params are levelling out, also the red sores on the rtc's have cleared so the treatment is working, they arent breathing as heavy either, still not eating but i suspect earthworms will get them munching again.

Great news ey Lupin, i couldnt believe my eyes this morn when i seen all the sores gone from the skin, he was also coming to the glass wanting a stroke off me which i thought was great, so i quickly washed my hands and serilized them and gave him a nice long stroke, it was asif he was saying thank you for saving my ass haha. Just need em to eat so im off to the angling shop today to get a boat load of earth worms for them. Im suprised at how much you know about fish illness Lupin, it must have took a few years to get to where you are now. Thanks ever so much for all your help matey :cool-1::cheers:

I will still keep you updated here if anything changes, better or worse ;)
 
Quick update on water params and quality also how the rtc's are improving ;).

Tank temp=25c, water quality looks to be very clean and the results speak for themselves. KH=7dgh, GH=14dgh (which i think is way too high), PH=7.6, Amonia=0.25, Nitrites=0, Nitrates=40ppm. Gona do a 30% water change soon and syphon the gravel, stir it up a bit. Hopefully the GH will drop some after the water change.

My rtc's still arnt eating much but their breathing has improved lots, they arnt gasping any more, 1 strange thing i have noticed is they allways seem to stay to the right side of the tank at all times, all huddled up together only the 2 smaller rtc's swim around at night, aswell as the pacus and the marble cat but big fellow seems to just stay in that corner of the tank constantly which is starting to worry me a bit, in a lazy kind of way. The earth worms didnt seem to tempt them into eating either, although they are still under treatment and the last dose will be the 15th oct. Hopefully i will see a bigger improvemet in the way the fish stop being so lazy and actually hunt at night instead of sitting around watching the TV :naughty: :ROFL:
 
Glad to hear everything is well, Col. Always nice to hear positive updates!:thumbsup:
 
Quick update, rtc's ate a few muscles last night, tested the water this morn and i have a nitrite spike, PH=7.0, amonia=0.25, nitrite=1.0, nitrate=40ppm. Not quite sure why the nitrites have spiked but im assuming it has something to do with the BB doing its job as it shoukd be, maybe in a few days after another water change the params might read diff.
