Sick S.Eupterus?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry for bad quality, was hard to get a pic. Never seen something like this. If you could identify it and inform how to treat.
 
I'm working from the angle that its ich, turned the tank to 27 degrees. Tankmates are Frontosa, and 1 Synodontis eupterus, and one unidentified synodontis. Should i add 0,5 gram salt pr liter, or 1 gram pr liter?

Synos are very sensitive to salt from my knowledge. If you are treating with salt then What I would do is take a gallon of tank water and mix it with a tablespoon of salt. Then put it the cat for about 10 minutes and then put him back in he tank. I probably didn't explain that the best but someone else on here told me that, just wait for them to find this.

Ok, im just gonna wait until i get some more info, until i start dropping salt, i have turned it to 26 degrees, there max temperature are 26 - 27 so that should be ok. And im gonna do a 50% Water change now, that cant damage anything :D Thanks Again, waiting for some more info however. But anyways, do you Guys think i could and should go higher than 26 degrees?
 
I'd leave it at that for a few days then turn up if necessary. I know what you're going through bro, my striped raph has been sick for almost 2 months. It can be frustrating to medicate cats but its wotrth it to see their bright shining faces :)

Its acually been like that for awhile, i just though it had been beat up by its buddys, but then when it stayed like that i got worried. Maybe its just some new Bruces tho :D
