  1. red inside the gills? looks pale and breathing a little harder? said temp was low - stresses fish and you saw this in the male. Increases risk of any type of infection look into gill issues?
  2. seems to have been relatively short lived Growths on Rex barely visible when I got home from work earlier. Now they are gone Fins have healed 50% since last post I withheld last nights water change as parameters were OK. Let meds sit another day Partial change tonight, fingers crossed
  3. 7.4 chocolate has been in there 8 months keyhole 8 months convicts 6 months only change in water parameters since established a year ago is recent temp increase when i added the female ram since temp increase, chocolate had become much more active no fish in tank is acting stressed, sick, off, breathing hard, swimming off, reduced appetite
  4. update ich x trx complete; 6 day course, almost at 48 hours with no lesions completed EM dosing last night, will be due for water change tonight New white patches to the large chocolate this am new tail fin splitting to a german blue male had 1 established female ram in tank before adding 3 more 13 days ago. dark female still has white patch noted above in photos and visible ulcer lesion still where do i go next? everyone is still happy as a clam water change and watch for a bit with frequent water changes and see if it clears? have not had an ammonia spike or numbers indicating BB crash with abx use nitrates <10 Ni 0 A 0 Ph 7.4 water is soft to mild
  5. is this from Dean's Peru wild stock? If so, that pH shouldn't be an issue unless a major swing from ACO? any more of them in tank? doing ok? raise temp a hair?
  6. pics for substance Black ram came with small ulcer to left side, improving, but you can see a white patch behind it - relatively unchanged, and does not seem to be growing colonies from body male without white patches growing off gill now - you can see his red and has some skin that needs to grow back ich spots are scattered and mostly non visible at this point female GBR and Rex the chocolate have been unaffected by everything - no ich, no white growths while everyone else was affected
  7. Ich x says daily WC and dose so that is what I will cont doing. EM is for secondary infection - I thinks primary and ich is secondary but regardless received full course of trx. Cotton growths on newest ram are gone at this time. Ich is significantly reducing. Tonight will be dose three and will be doing 1/3 water change before that. Will cont this with extra day of dosing after no further signs of active ich. GC will be after all other treatments. Hoping no new secondary fungal / bacterial infections after ich x
  8. Thanks for the reply, Cory I am on second box of EM, second and final dose this evening I had dosed GC last night but not this evening I did a 20g change and added Ich x and EM with tea tree and lavender no one seems to have had an issue with meds so far will cont with daiy ich therapy til gone then i will do GC. I have some prazi pro I will plan to use as the follow up as I only have one more dose of GC left
  9. Hey all, new here. Been watching ACO for a couple years now 55g has been established for a year sponge filter no carbon added a few new GBRs last week now have ich and some white patches everyone is happy, swimming, and eating temp is 82-84 A 0 Ni 0 Na <10 steady did 80% change last night and dosed Ich x, EM, and GC as directed add Tea Tree and Lavender EO with each water change - have done for a year this is where I have a question. Ich says change 1/3 water before each dose, due tonight. EM and GC are add after 24 / 48 hours without water change. If i change water tonight per ich x how much am i limiting the abx also working? anyone skip water change with second dose of ich? Either way, I can't "follow the directions" Thanks all!
