Hiya I'm in need of help with my 2 fantails.
Before i had 4 fish in an 88litre and i just had the 2 fantaiils they were great, never any health issues they were just always what seemed to be happy!
The problem is the 2 fantails always seem down since having the new fish, they seem sorry for themselves. I recently got rid of whitespot and now one fantail has it again but very mild, and the other fantail appears to have a ripped fin on one side and a bit of red streak on a fin, so i assume this is the fin rot.
So i need to take one of the fish out put it into quarantine and treat it, then treat the other fantail in the 88litre, my problem is i don't want to stress them as there already probably stressed.
I'm taking the orandas to the store i bought them from ither tomorrow,friday or saturday and then im just focusing on the 2 fantails.
There quite hardy fish aswell, i dont want to loose them.
I was going to try melafix but the closest pet store is over half an hour away and i can't get there because my mum has the car for work alot and plus i have the other treaments such as anti white spot and anti fungus stuff.
What do you suggest i do, i have a 15litre quaratine tank if thats any use.
Plus times short, i want to get it sorted asap.
thanks for reading.
 
We need some info.

How often do you do waterchanges and how much do you take out each time?
What filtration do you have on the tank?
What are your water stats?
Ammonia?
NitrIte?
NitrAte?
 
How often do you do waterchanges and how much do you take out each time? I do water chanegs once a week of 50%.
What filtration do you have on the tank? I have a stingray 15, but in the next couple of months im upgrading to an external filter.
What are your water stats?,
Ammonia?0
NitrIte?0
NitrAte?0
 
0 nitrate! thats unheard of! I've never ever seen a tank with fish in it at 0 nitrate.
 
Just tested again this morning and there is nitrate, last night when i tested the nitrate i forgot to use bottle 3!
 
I need no further help, ive got it sorted now i know what im doing :)
The fish are looking better.
