Hello Fellow Aquarists.

Tank size:55 gal.
pH: 6.7
ammonia: .25
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0
kH:
gH:
tank temp: 79


Volume and Frequency of water changes: weekly 20 or so percent monthly 4o percent

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: filter: floss, peat moss, and ceramic rings. Plant additives florish, trace, excel, iron, and npk

I have suddenly found some type of illness in my tank. I have a 55 gallon planted tank with:

9 amano shrimp
9 harlequin rasboras
2 blue rams
5 ottocats
2 panda corys
1 rummy nose tetra

I got my blue rams, rummy nose tetra, & rasboras @ the same time, upon delivery I noticed that 1 of the rams had a

small nip missing from its anal fin but no other problems were noticed the fish have looked amazing. The amanos & ottocats are

older, and the pandas were added just b4 the illness was discovered (pandas show no sign of illness). So about 3 weeks ago I had a mishap with my co2 in that

I added 2 much and stressed out my fish. since then I addjusted the co2 problem but the the rams fin got worse and the other

rams eye is poping out with a little cloudyness on the top both rams lost color the one with the fin damage was breathing heavy

and died yesterday the other lost color but isnt doing horrible. 2 of the rasboras have a small white dot on their mouths and they

all are kind of acting off with there schooling other than that they look great nice and bright and colorful. I started them on

Maracyn-Two yesterday and have been researching fish illnesses. Any advice or knowledge on this particular situation would be

greatly appreciated.
