Fish Fanatic
Well he seemed to be getting better ... got in from a meeting to find this ....
Hole in the head disease - I thought so but then this is confusing ... there are these whitish patches on the fish and also the fins, they aren't as prominent as ich pictures I have seen. Look at this ...
This is the only fish showing these signs, yes the pH has been damned awful - below 6 so not measurable by me or the LFS, I have treated the tank now with a 25% water change and twice now with pH Normal 7 (the pH is still not measurable but I don't want to do anything else just yet), I have also added some 'ocean rock'. I also just treated this fish for fin rot and he seemed to clear up and was improving - the fins even seemed to be growing back.
Any suggestions welcome. PLUS ... and this is real important.
Will this infect my other fish ?? - I DO NOT yet have another tank / hospital tank but is this 'affliction' one that should warrant quarantining this fish - or will my others already be affected - they are showing no signs and all appear healthy and I am not prepared to sacrifice them but nor do I want to swamp them in meds they don't need.
Oh and if someone would care to tell me how to get decent fish pics I would also appreciate ....
