Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted March 24, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would just observe for a bit and see if it fades. Let us know if it begins to redden or ulcerate. When doing such large water changes, are you able to get the pH of your tap water up to that of the tank "before" adding it to the tank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 24, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 Every wc I take everyone out and put them in a seperate tub. I add baking soda to the new water and it buffs it up to 7.5 and it stays there till the next wc. Thank you Jared! I will observe it and let you know if anything changes. Should I add salt to the tank or anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 24, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 Now I've got another one from the same tank and she is gulping a lot at the surface and her tail has red streaks in it. She's a bit lethargic she will swim then rest, swim then rest but mostly gulping at the surface. She's still eating normally 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted March 24, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just out of curiosity, why are you doing 100% water changes in a large tank that is not overstocked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted March 24, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's snowing duckweed in this tank incase you are wondering. I moved her to my 40 breeder so I could keep an eye on her I would like you to do for now... If you still have the Silver? If you do and its the 500ppms... I would like you to do is 4 drops in the tank... Also a 2 drop in a 1-2 gallon bowl and place the fish in there with tank water for 30 mins... Then back into the tank with Silver.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 25, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 She's just been sitting like this in the corner of the tank. I think the silver baths maybe stressing her? Her tail has gotten more red streaks. My other orange oranda who I originally made the post for well his spot has disappeared and he's totally fine acting normally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 25, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm very worried about her shes apparently pretty stressed and keeps trying to swim into the corner of the tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
