titch 104 Posted April 1, 2017 Yep. Spoke too soon... Small red patch at base of left gill plate. Hard to capture in photo. Everywhere else looks good still. Just gone into 50% main tank water & 25 drops. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titch 104 Posted April 2, 2017 Red patch I spotted yesterday has pretty much disappeared. Weird. I swear he's doing it on purpose! Still at 50% main tank water & 25 drops. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titch 104 Posted April 2, 2017 Also, that blood spot in his tail seems to be getting bigger. Is it a case of it'll get worse before it gets better or is there something sinister causing it? If so, what would create a build up of blood like that? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titch 104 Posted April 4, 2017 Just now, koko said: .1% for now... We just want it to help heal up that tail and yes please. Is your main tank looking clear and healthy? Main tank parameters taken last night were; Ammonia - 0 ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Nitrate - 10ppm pH - 8.2 Last WC - Sunday - 90 litres Next WC - tonight, 60 litres Piggy still looks and acts normal. He still has his dark patches which you though were age spots. One of them is slightly raised - not in a pineconed way, think how your finger nail looks if you bashed it with a hammer!! Lol! Kinda looks like it's going to drop off, but as yet it hasn't. I was wondering if I should maybe dose the main tank with Fluke Solve in prep for Winston returning. Last round was in October. I did spot what I thought were flukes on Sunday during the WC (although I've never seen a fluke before, so who knows). I found two of them and they were tiny, about 2mm across and transparent with a black bit in the centre. They were both on the glass, not Piggy (had a good search on him, but he appears clear). Note: they weren't moving and didn't move when I 'caught' them. So no... maybe the answer is the main tank isn't looking clear & healthy 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
