Ram Emergency Update - Now With Pictures

[Animation]

Hey,
About a week ago i posted about my ram, losing colouring and her tail going thin,
Now she has a sort of white mark going across the end and her tail is gradually falling off,
Please help!

can you please either link to your old thread or provide all the initial information, such as water stats, tank size and tank mates, and what you have done already?

I would issolate her like i said in the last post it could be fish tb with going thin on the end, you are putting your whole tank at risk, and sadly she not going to make it, sorry.

Iv'e put her in a pot floating in my tank
Here are the pictures of her, Not very clear but i hope it can help you diagnose her better

 

[WILDER]

Can you issolate her and what meds do you have in bacterial.
If you can issolate you will need a interpet anti fungus and finrot med, plus interpet anti internal bacteria, start off only with half the dose of the bacteria med for now.

I have given her half finrot medicine and will go to my lfs tomorrow and get them, Only problem is can you put more than one in at a time, she is isolated in a seethrough pot floating at the top of the tank, i am emptying water every 2-8 hours,
I don't know if she will pull through it i am only hoping that she does
James,
Please post any other suggestions and i will keep you both updated

besides getting a real hospital tank, I would make sure you add an air stone to help wiht oxygenation, and also use a dechlorinator or other product that will neutralize the ammonia in the water.

Good she is in isolation, nothing to lose i'm afraid it bad. You must increase aeration though as it will really reduce 02 in the water.

I don't have any airstone or that yet i normally just relly on my plants, i have put some riccia and water lettuce to float at the top of her container and am refreshing the water with new water everytime i get chance.
I caught her eating last night which i suppose is a good sign.
Will add some dechlorinator to her pot now, Going to the lfs when i get back from school toniht to get the products.
I am trying to feed her on microworms at the moment to help her growth of her fin and make her feel a little bit more percky.
Let's hope Darwina makes it through the day
