Dr.rex Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Okay I got this sword tail 2 days ago she started giving birth in the bag so I let her give birth in one tank (10g pH 7.8 -8, kh 180, gh 300+, A 0.25 -0.5, nI 0, nA 25-50 and then moved her to the to the other one when she was done (20gL pH 7.2, kh 40, gh 300+, A 0, nI 0 nA 50-100, I floated her and the baby she gave birth to already in the bag for 15 emptied it let her finish giving birth about 3 hours later I moved her into the 20 gallon which houses just a few guppy fry and two female silver mollies with MTS, both tanks are running stress coat Plus, one squirt per gallon is the dosage, no change to her, added a bit of salt no change to her, does anyone know what's going on here, it's 2 days and she's not eating and it's worrying me, oh she also had 57 fry If that matters.

Colu Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Clamped fins is usually caused by poor water quality I would do a water change and see if she Improves and add small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10gallons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.rex Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just now, Colu said: You could do a course of maracyn Just in case something else is going see if that helps Well I've got four packets of maracyn and six packets of maracyn 2, so I don't a full courses but if I do one dose I should notice a difference in 24 hours if it's something bacterial right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 You could do like med trio suggest and add one dose of maracyn and leave a week if it's bacterial it can take a couple of days before you notice any improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
