Newbie with a fungus problem?)
Saturday Night Check in (Day 10 of reduced salt - 26 total):
- Baseline #1 on straight tap water: pH: 7.6; Ammonia: 0ppm; Nitrite: 0ppm; Nitrate: 0ppm - Tank (midnight): pH: 7.4; Ammonia: almost .25ppm; Nitrite: almost 0ppm; Nitrate: slightly over 10ppm - CB has been very active today - almost back to normal.
I figured since the fungus is a thing of the past I should probably change the subject line.
Noting the Ammonia level, since I gave the PraziPro yesterday at 5pm, should I do a PWC and treat the replacement water with PraziPro or should I just add more Prime to control the ammonia?
I’m looking for someplace to take a water sample from the aquarium and have it tested so I can tell if my kit is giving me accurate results. Will PetSmart do that kind of thing? I only know of one LFS and as I said before it’s kind of a dirty little place. I might buy sealed containers of fish products, but I wouldn’t buy any fish there and I’m not so sure I’d trust their advice.
Also, since everyone agrees that Lucille probably doesn’t have Septicemia, should I stop replacing salt with any PWCs? I really don’t think it’s a color change. It looks much more like blood to me.
Someone mentioned about CB’s tail is so short. It was longer in spots, but raggedy, and the raggedy bits finally fell off, but the tail seems to be growing back some, now. Now that the fish are acting healthier, I do notice Lucille nipping at CB’s tail sometimes. I had originally suspected that both CB’s and Raven’s tails had been nibbled on. In a 10 gallon tank, where could they have escaped to? Hopefully, I can keep Lucille entertained enough and give CB places to hide.
