Spartacus Needs Help! A.s.a.p!

[Eskielvr]

It's my fault, it's all my fault! His fin rot was worse when we came back from vacation, but his tank was finally starting to cycle. I heard Maracyn and Maracyn 2 are a good combo to use, so I used some. I also added 1 tablespoon of salt to his 5 gallon tank. I noticed the Maracyn contains the same ingredient as another API product, and you can use Melafix with all API products, so I used some of that too, and then added Pimafix because it said for a tip, to use it with the Melafix.

Now Spartacus has eyes that are blood red. I did an emergency 75-80% water change and put fresh carbon back in the tank. Is it too late to help him though? I'm afraid of internal bleeding. I should have known better. Stupid me!! Is there anything I can do? The only other thing I can think of is perform a 100% water change. Did I cause permanent damage?

Carbon will get rid of the medication in the water so if you are using medications remove the carbon... I will leave the rest of the advice to more experienced members with better knowledge on disease treatment but Good Luck

Ok, thanks. I hope someone will get back to me soon! I'm trying desperately to find articles about med poisoning or blood filled eyes but I can't find anything! I called Drs Foster and Smith but all their fish techs are gone for the night.

Yes there always a risk with over doses of meds that you can cause damage.
Water change and black carbon.
Good luck.
