I'm at a loss what's wrong now ...
I tried curing ICH for 2wks with heat. Didn't work. So I moved onto Nox-Ich, which worked great! I switched my tanks around as the buyer for my old tank was coming yesterday. I had put it off as long as I could.
I realize that causes stress but I used the same rocks, media, water, etc. I did add new water as well. Went from a 15g to 29g
The fish over the last few days have acted off. I had just assumed it was from the ich.
F. m/m platy - stomach grew. was clamped fin when ich present but not now. I bought it 3wks ago. looks almost pregnant but not really. does that make any sense?!
F. sunburst platy - red gills, rubbing against things, clamped fin, swimming oddly, fast breathing like its taking great big gulps of air (none of the others are). Stomach looks like it has a black patch in it. skin looks different a bit now too. I've had this fish since origional set up 9m ago, 2 sets of fry since.
F. dalmation lyretail molly - rubbing objects and trying to rub on other fish.
other tank inhabitants; mystery snail & l201 pleco
pH - 7.2
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 20
origional tank set up 9mos ago (15g) - moved everything to a 29g yesterday
Is it still ich?
Should I treat again just in case?
