Hello all,
Hoping to get some advice for my bolivian ram. First off here are stats:
75 gallon, weekly 20-25% water changes
Temp 75
A – 0, N- 0, Ntrate- 10-20ppm, PH 8.0
I have had him/her for since Sept 2012.
Housed with Cardinal Tetras, Black Neon Tetras and one other bolivian ram.
No new tank additions since last year april 2013.
I’ve had no issues with rams up to this point. The one has a white spot which looked like it has formed ( been there about a week ) on the nostril. I would have guessed this ram to be the healthier of the two rams as it is always fist to come out and eat, larger, and more energetic. My wife also said she noticed it twitching in the face a couple times, but not sure if that is anything.
I did have what I surmised to be a fish fungus with 3 of my black neon tetras about 8 months ago and moved them to a hospital tank to treat with Maracyrn. They are back in main tank and seem to be doing fine.
Do have hospital tank set up. Hospital tank is a 5 gallon and is cycled. Dose 2ppm of ammonia once a week. HOB filter. Temp kept around 80.
Was thinking of moving bolivian to the hospital tank and treating as the spot seems to have gotten brighter. My concern is always causing stress my moving to hospital tank but the spot has been there a week and seems to be something.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Pics below…
Thanks
