please help!
my pictus catfish dont look so good
one of them has his two main feelers curled round going back along his body , normally they are out front darting around feeling everything.
i recently treated the tank for popeye and wonder if this has affected them as they are classed as scaleless fish and this sometimes has a dextrimental effect on them. since the treatment i have done a partial water change and am hoping this will help but any suggestins would be gratefully recieved.
i was told the treatment wouldn,t hurt them by my LFS(myxazin). will cotinue to do water changes over the next few days (10%) with stress coat, and see if this helps.
thanks

Right can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, how many gallons is the tank, and full stock list of fish.
Also have the feelers gone thin, or shortened, and any whiteness on them.
 
all my water stats look fine, my full fish list can be found if you click on my name and as for his feelers they look fine in fact his fins are all upright and he has great colour,
very confused!

I don't no why you are worried as my gouramis have them back on the body now and then.
 
leave him for 2-3 days and see how he goes and if there not fixed by then dont turn the lights on for a week and because they need there feelers more in the dark it should help the feelers to get back sooner
