PLease can someone help......My fish are all starting to die. I posted the other day when one of my oscars died and then this morning my Tandanus catfish died(which is an australian native) now my salmon cat is lookin sad and my other oscar is a bit off color..I have checked the water and the only thing that is showin not right was the ph was down a little..have dne whats needed there but what else can i do i dont want to loose them all when the oscar died she most deffinitely looked like she had hole in the head but these others are just hanging low or high then dyiing PLEASE HELP>>>>>>>>>> :sad:
 
Has there colour darkened, I think I would use an anti internal bacteria med, do you have an airstone for extra aeration.
 
yes have good airation.. and no they look ok and the color is fine the tandanus was a little slimey when i took her out for the freezer treatment as she was still a little alive just dont know whats wromg HELP
 
I would do some daily water changes and add some melafix to the tank, if no improvement you will have to go on to an anti internal bacteria med.
 
i will try all these thanks and heres hoping all is well
 
Fingers crossed for you, good luck.
 
well,,,,,i did lose another catfish, But have done daily water changes and added the melafix My oscar seems to be coming good within the last 2 days he was even begging for food tonight********A VERY GOOD SIGN WITH HIM********but a bit upsetting to loose the others..How long should i keep up the mela fix? everyone seems to say something different around here I have my fingers crossed and hope it all comes good still not sure what the cause of their deaths was........Had to be in the water .....Maybe??"""" :dunno:
 
Never used melafix so i don't no how long you can use it, just a couple more days if they are getting better, don't wan't to stop just yet.
