I have been treating my Angles with Maracyn, they are now doing great I think no more corner crowding, and clamped fins, and the white film is mostly gone.....one still has a couple of tiny cottony spots...it was a large spot, and yesterday, I noticed a couple of them have a hole in their fins....like someone took a hole puncher to them...just not near as big .....yesterday was the 6th day, so I put in new filters and cleaned the tank and did a 25% water change.....
Should I treat the tank again since the one angel still has that spot, or will it go away? Why did the holes appear in their fins this late in the treatment?
Anyway...
I checked water before I made the water change and
pH was @7.0
Nitrates & Nitrites @ normal
ammonia @ 0
I made sure the water I put back into the tank had the same pH.
Today I get up and check the water again...
pH ...same
Nitrates & Nitrites...same
ammonia was up a little to .5-1.0
Anyone know why? Is that enough of a spike to worry about?
Could it be because I vacumed the tank last night?....I wasn't very dirty at all, but I did take out all decorations and clean them in hot water and then re-arranged everything.
How long will it take for the tank to clear up from the medication?
It looks tons better than it did.....but it is still a bit cloudy, can't see the background very well. 8)
My fish are finally nice to look at again .....I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong...... again!!
Thanks everyone!
