Something also wrong with Annabelle(update: Ich & IP)

[edmlfc1]

Belive me I already had a talk with her and she won't come out of her corner. She seen me taking the rock out of Elvis tank this morning and she said " Oh no Mama's on a Rampage!" Now she's in hiding.

Annabelle's eye is almost clear again! She still has a little cloudiness in it but you really can't tell much from the picture. Here it is anyway:

Brill. One less puff to worry about.

Her eye is not completely clear just yet. But I think she can see out of it again. Today was day 3. I'll update tomorrow.

Sounds like you're doing good work!!

Annabelle's eye looks more cloudy tonight than it did this morning. Still treating her tank with the meds. I'll update again tomorrow.

Annabelle's eye looks a little better this morning. Here's a picture. It's still a little cloudy and I thought it would have cleared up by now. I'm still treating with meds. For some reason it don't really show in the picture.

i'm also rooting for Annabelle as well......
you are truly an amazing puffer mom.....good work...

[t1gerbee]

first shot i've seen of her swimming, not hiding!

[edmlfc1]

She stayed in her corner last night and this morning. She's on a hunger strike right now. I'm guessing it's the meds, and that's why she won't eat. I'll do her water change tomorrow and try to feed her again.
Her water tested: amm.0, nitite 0, nitrate 0, Ph ? (can't remember but I have it wrote down at home.)

Good news/Bad news.
Good news, Annabelle's eye has finally cleared. I did a 30% water change to get the meds out. I'll do another 30% in a couple of days.
Bad news, she's still on a hunger strike. I'm thinking it's because of the meds in her tank. She won't eat anything. Her tummy is not caved in so I'm not extremely worried yet. I'm hoping she will eat in a day or two. She's been staying in her corner and when I checked on her this morning she was breathing a
little heavy. I checked her water last night ph 6.8 (i think), amm. 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0. Right now she's resting on top of a log.

Here are some updated pictures of her:

As I sit here trying to figure out how I'm going to get Annabelle to eat again, I see her crusing the tank. I was wondering why after all these days of not eating she did not look like her belly was going flat. I think she is hunting down the guppies! I was also looking through the pictures I just took and that last one her tummy looks a little lumpy. By Golly I think I'm right! The little $*&^% had me worried! I'll be keeping a close eye on her anyway to make sure. She's sooooo sneaky!

[t1gerbee]

i did wonder that. And to think i was going to suggest getting her some live river shrimp to get her appetite back..

Maybe those poor guppies need to find a new fishy home before it's too late.

The guppies hitch-hiked with some ghost shrimp, grew up, ended up with a male and a female, then multiplied. I've actually had the original pair for about 8 months. I put them in my planted tank and the angel's ate all the fry within minutes. That's when I moved them to the 29G. This was also Annabelle's qt. When I moved her they got moved also. I did buy feeder guppies once, while in qt they all died within 3 days. They had some kind of fuzzy fungus growing on them. At that time I was planning to set up a small seahorse tank and use the fry as feeders. It never happened. I think Annabelle is having too much fun stalking them. And it would be a total pain to try to catch them in that 6ft. tank. There's plenty of places to hide so they better get smart or get eaten.
