First time my fish have ever caught this in 10 years so this is a heart breaking learning experience.
I have 2 Shubunkans, Plec, Weither loach, 2 snails... I have been treating with interpet Methylene Blue for 4 days but so far things are just getting worse. The fish that was infected first is now really heavily infected with its fins in tatters and my other fish is showing signs of whitespot but one of its eyes is really cloudy and looks bigger than the other.
The instructions that come with the treatment are incredibly vague and doesn't give any details what so ever of how to apply the treatment except for the initial dosage but doesn't say when to re-dose or how long the water should rest for after first dose.
Ive dosed the tank with 13ml of Meth Blue 75l tank then 3 days later I added another 3ml to the tank in a desperate attempt to help my fish. Its killing me to watch them suffer like this is there any more i should do or have I did something wrong already.... what should be happening as at the moment the fish are getting worse each day.
The tank temp was at 23 and I've since raised it to 28 which I was reluctant to do at first giving that 2 of the fish are mainly cold water.
I heard the chems are nasty to begin with should I be replacing so much of the water, adding more chems or what, I must be going wrong some where ? One fish is covered in white specs the other has a few of the outer edges of its fins and one eye larger/cloudy than the other.
Please help,
