LOL thanks for that mate

You need to improve the water quality.
Your tanks overstocked, that why fish are becoming ill.

 

[joanne_464]

Right iv done another water test today after the 50% water change

ammonia - 0.0 (clear)

nitrate - 20

nitrite - 0.1

pH - 7.0

has anyone had any luck on what i could give my angel fish to make it better ??

and im takin some fish to my lfs store tomorrow to make some room

Check the mouth area for whiteness, or look bleached out.
Is the fish managing to eat.

 

[joanne_464]

his mouth does look to be bleched out not much colour round the mouth.... no whiteness that i can see, he does try to eat but spits it back out.
he just seems to sit in one spot next to the filter and hardly swims

 

[WILDER]

He could have columnaris. Get you some info.

Thanks for your help with this iv been and bought some Interpet Anti Internal Bacteria

My link

This was suggested by my lfs when i described the symptoms

i really hope this works iv also put him on his own in my Fluval Edge Tank to give him a bit of piece

 

[WILDER]

Let me know how you get on with the med.
Myxazin and pimafix for columnaris in the uk.

 

[joanne_464]

he is now showing signs of bleeding around the mouth and inside his eye.. any more ideas on what this could be ???
I really dont want to loose him

 

[WILDER]

Bleeding beneath the skin and pool of blood in the eye area can be septicemia.
I would issolate the sick fish as the bacteria from the fish can enter the tank.
Also septicemia hard to cure once it progresses.

 

[joanne_464]

so its not looking good ?? and i isolated him the other day he is in my fluval edge on his own any treatments ??

 

[WILDER]

Anti internal bacteria med by interpet meant to treat septicemia but it crap.
You can double the dose with severe cases. He's in issolation so it should be fine.

You really need antibiotics for septicemia from a vet.

ok i will try another dose in the moring he had one tonight so il put the other in tomorrow morning
