Tigrinus Cat sick... Help!

[House 64]

Came home this morning to a sick Tig.... need some input! Appears to have a white-ish film and ick covering it's body. Mild fin rot.... and same white-ish film on the antennas....

Did a 30% water change, added salt and turned up the heater to 84-86 degrees. What else would you recommend? I guess I'll sit and wait to see that happens the next couple of days.

Could be ammonia burn, Sean. Don't raise your temp past 80-82. High temp is lethal to Tig. A couple of my Tig lost recently had the same symptom - fin rot, and skin burned.

I'll go turn down the temp..... could be ammonia burn bc I have him with some Chinese Perch and they killed a few guppies and didn't eat them. I was at work and couldn't scoop them out on time.
