Hi,

Help! I've just treated my fish for white spot and fin rot using interpet no6 and no8 respectivley. All my fish now have balance problems... what do i do!?!

The balance problems consist of:
  • swimming upside down
  • swimming backwards and sideways
  • struggling to right themselves
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The tank is 63 litres. Stats are:

pH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0-0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 40ppm

I've done a 20% water change to reduce the concentrations of the medicines i put in - given that they became ill very soon after adding the treatments.

I have 3 silver sharks, 2 sucking loaches and a corydoras catfish.

Thanks

Justin
 
That tank is way to small for bala sharks they are a shoaling fish and need room to shoal.
You need at least a 75gal for them.
Parasites can cause bacteria infections.
