I went to visit him last night, he is not looking 100%, i did a water change and a filter clean and check the sanity and temperature. I am going to get some test kits today as she has run out.
The thing that is worring me, is what looks like Ich, white patches on the puffers back, i have been reading through the library and am not sure what would the best method to use to rid the ich.
I called the petshop this morning and i am getting a new tank made up (just because the glass in the old tank is scratched). I am planning to move Shermy(GSP) and all his stuff to my house this weekend.
The plan is to move 50% of the water, substrate and filters to my place and set it all up again (hopefully maintain the bacteria in the filters).
But now with the ich in the picture, i am wondering if there is a better way to deal with the situation, should i rather put him in a small quarretine tank with the current pump and no substrate, setup the other tank and let it cycle before adding Shermy back in again? will he be able to survive in a small quarrentine tank for the 4 weeks it take the big tank to cycle again ?
All suggestions are well come as to the best way to deal with the situation, might it be a good idea to send shermy to a good petshop and cycle a new tank again?
thanks for everyone input in advance
