Sick Gourami

[sparrow6190]

I have a pink kissing gourami in my 100 gallon. He has what look like little lines running through his eye, and he is not opening his mouth like he used to

The is still swimming and I had a gourami die of this not long ago, I treated with melafix and recently treated a fish that came in with ich.

one of his eyes looks a little worse than yesterday
and he isn't opening his mouth doing the kissing thing

Are the lines red or white specks, any cloudiness to the eye, also the mouth, any signs of it looking sore, any fungus on it, or bumps.

 

[sparrow6190]

the lines are white lines that look like spider web, slight cloudiness i think

can't tell with the mouth, it is possible though it looks

Sounds like eye flukes i will find some info for you.

Take a look under eye flukes.

it is not eye fluke

the lines are thin and string across

Can we take a look at your stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, i would add some melafix for now.

 

[sparrow6190]

the ammonia is about .25, ph about 8.2,

i have been treating for ich too because a ropefish i got brought it in.

I am now out of melafix and about out of ich treatment.

its in a 100 gallon with a small pacu, yellow electric cichlid, juv. frontosa, pictus catfish, and a ropefish. plenty of caves

 

[sparrow6190]

he hasnt gotten any worse from what I can see, I added Pimafix a little bit ago, hopefully I can keep these fish alive and healthy.

The eyes could be due to the ammonia in the tank, you need to do a water change to get the ammonia reading down, what are your others stats in nitrite,nitrate.

I'm just going to move him over to a 20 gallon tank untill the 100 fully cycles...

No nitrates yet, and i'm out of nitrite test tabs, and money...
