General lethargy with periods of normal activity, one fish started bottom sitting friday, perked up saturday and is now sittinb again sunday. Appetite is normal in all fish. Hi guys, I really need your help. I've had issues with sickly fish for months. General inactiviity, split fins, one of my fish has always had this white sticky out patch on his mouth, and one of my ranchu always has white spots (that look like excess slime coat) on his tail fin, both the spots and the white mouth seem to look worse sometimes and better others. Two months ago i got two bn plecs, i totally forgot to qurantine and i'm pretty confident they introduced flukes into my tank, i treated with 7 rounds of fluke solve (no salt due to loaches and plecs) after this treatment things seemed ok for a while. Then one of my bn plecs died suddenly, no symptoms, just found him dead. A little while ago i posted a thread on here entitled 'sickly goldfish' about one of my fantais who was bottom sitting, excess slime coat, red patches etc, well he recovered fine, until friday (today is sunday) walked in to find him displaying the exact same symptoms again, on saturday he seemed better, and now on sunday he is back to the same behaviour. One of my ranchu has also developed some very split fins that don't seem to be healing. I'm wondering if i am to blame for this as a few weeks ago i done a water change of 50% using tap water (not aged) as i complete forgot to get water ready the night before, could the drop in temperature and ph have stressed my fish and caused flukes to take hold again? Shall i do another 7 rounds of fluke solve? All i want is happy fish, i feel like a terrible fish mumma as i have no idea why i'm having such trouble. I do have a UV sterilizer but it isn't currently conected, could this help to keep bacteria/parasites at bay? I'll include some pictures in a sec. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
