Hello,
I'm new to this site. I've been reading it for about 2 months and joined today.
I never really looked it over before today but it sure seems to be a nice site with all the different topics.
I was sort of tickled to see the dog and cat forum.
Anyway the reason I'm writing is because today I dosed my 26 gallon tank which is about 2 months old with API triple sulfa.
The reason I did so is because I have 4 Pearl Gourami. I put a feeding ring (little suction cup deal) in my tank for a few
days. I have one male and three females from what
I can tell. The male kept trying to chase her away from the feeding ring but she was very persistent.
Shortly after I noticed that one of my Pearls mouth (lower) looked a little odd.
I thouht maybe she had hurt it on the feeding ring which has been removed.
Over a period of days it started to look similar to the mouth fungus. I looked at many, many photos and that's my closest guess.
I actually took her out very gently and dabbed some tea tree oil with a qtip on both sides.
She looked better the next day and was eating but my snail (blue mystery?) didn't do good, I thought it died.
I did a almost 50% water change, my snail revived but my Pearl's mouth started looking not so good again.
After doing a lot of research and learning about gram negative bacteria and supposedly the sulfa not being harmful to plants and my snail
I chose to treat the tank.
My question is how long will it take before I see results from the sulfa?
Thank you for any help and the excellent site.
