Hi,
I have a 48l tank with 1 baby bristlenose, 3 minnows, 2 danios, 2 guppies, and 2 dwarf ram chichlids.
I noticed some signs of finrot on my danios, so i added some finrot medication to the tank (only half of the necessary dose as i preffer to do it in stages to STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING! GRRR) However, as i added the medication my male golden ram decided to swim straight into the cloud of medication and i think he's been poisoned. He has lost all of his colour, he is gasping and sitting on the bottom of the tank. This was 3 days ago.
I immediately did a 50% water change to try and get the medication out of his system, and have done daily 25% changes since, but he's getting worse. He perks up a little bit after the water changes but after 10mins or so he's back to the way he was.
I added some Methylene Blue this morning as a few of them were hanging close to the surface, and i wanted to up the oxygen in the water without the current from the airstones.
What do i do?! Actually any advice at all would be great, please don't let bruce die!
