What symptoms would you treat with melafix? How do you go about treating your fish with melafix? Do you treat only the symptomatic fish in a QT or the entire tank to try and remove any harmful bacteria that might already be in the tank? Is it safe for the biological media?

Hi Guys, So it's been almost a month since the last time i posted these symptoms that one of my Blood Parrot was displaying, treated the tank with Melafix but to no avail and now the things seem to be getting worse as another one of my BPs seems to have caught it. Both my BPs have redness/sores...

a picture never hurts :)

Glad to hear that you'r fish are doing well. By the sounds of it your mini cycle is almost complete, congrats! And oh im 90% sure now that the cloudiness was the bacteria bloom, else it wouldnt have cleared this quick.

Cycled since the last 3 years, water parameters 0 Amm, 0 Nitrite, 15 Nitrates like always. No changes in the stock, no additions in the tank nothing! This is just weird.

Given you've had them for a while now I doubt it is because of there being only 4 of them, i'm assuming they have never been in the company of too many to begin with. Have you tested your water parameters? Made any changes to your filter or it's media? How do you clean/do maintenance work on...

JUST WOW! :good:

Thats just an algae bloom, can happen for a number of reasons. Overfeeding (obvious remedy :rolleyes: ) Cycling Tank (Cannot avoid) High Nitrates (Frequent water changes or use plants - plants feed on the nitrates) Low light Too much light (which may include Sunlight exposure, avoid placing...

Sounds like you might be experiencing a mini-cycle until the bacteria can increase enough to compensate for the extra bio-load. Loaches require a fully cycled tank, try to maintain a daily water change of 30% for a week after which you can do it every couple of days. That should allow your fish...

Looks like your cycle/bacteria somehow got messed up. Are you experiencing any cloudiness in the water, that would be a good sign if you are? Bacteria like your fish need oxygen to stay alive. Could it be that you have too much CO2 being injected and into the water with very little aeration...

Hey guys, One of my blood parrots is suffering from something, there is a lot of 'RED' on the base of its pectoral fins and on the nose, the gills are fine but i can notice them opening up more than usual, the breathing is not faster though. It is feeding fine and very active. I need to catch...
