Ok, I've had Zephyr for about 2 months now, and he's never been quite right (he was a 'rescue' from pets at home). His fins were so tatty when we got him, we were treating him with melafix as there wasn't any give away signs that it was fin rot. He was very active and always building bubblenests, so he must have been happy.
However after 2 weeks of melafix treatment, and still with tatty fins, he now has pop eye. He is in a 3 gallon tank, which is filtered and heated at 26-27 degrees c, with no decorations or substrate bar a plant (elodea) for him to sit in. I do a water change once a week, about 50-60%. The water stats are fine, ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 and Nitrate about 20-30 (card is hard to read!).
What can I treat him with and what's the best plan of action? Another thing I thought it might be worth mentioning is that some of his scales are a blacky colour.
Any help appreciated!
