Problem
1. Please explain the problems with your fish/when and how they started
I posted before about a few of my fish being darker and there tail fins shredded. Its been a week since treating with Furan 2 for the reccomended dosage and period but the two fish are looking worse then ever.... The ones fin looks worse now and instead of a white haze around his fin tail its now black and its expanded across his lower and higher body fins as well now..
I bought a new pump and one of the pieces the guy gave me at home depot started rusting and I didnt know till after I pumped a cloud of yellow into my tank initially.... I have done two 90-95% water changes since yesterday to get it out of the water but one of the fish looks bad...Im not sure if its the rust thing but he hasnt been looking good for a while now. There are two that are like this but one is way worse then the other.
2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/ white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds)
He is propping himeself against things at the moment and acting strangely. He usually hovers near the bottom of the tank but now he is at the top propping himself against things.
