Dog and Pork both sick
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2022 7:52 pm
Summary
Both puffers are lethargic and not eating. Typically they eat mysis, clams, krill, and a blend our supplier makes that contains spirulina it’s called Life Line by biotope research.
Dog is hiding. Eyes are cloudy on pork more so than dog. This all started Sunday night.
Queen Angel got them sick I believe. She since passed.
I know copper isn’t great for puffers. I have Rally, Copper Safe and Safety Stop. Also have the melafix and pimafix.
Water in the tank is::::
Nitrite.25
Nitrate 25
Ammonia 0
2) Tank size - currently out of 350 gal display and in a bare bottom 60 gal breeder (put live rock from my 125 gallon in and the water from the 125)
3) Not eating currently. Water change 10% weekly under regular circumstances but they’ve been in the QT for 2 days. Just did a 15 gallon water change on the QT right before taking above tests.
4) originally both were in an established 125. They moved to a 350 about a month ago. We brought in a Queen Angel who was sick from the only people we get our fish from. He always QT first BUT apparently whatever she had stuck. She passed Monday. My clown trigger passed Tuesday. I started treating with Rally on Sunday night the moment I realized something was wrong. On Tuesday I moved both puffers out to the QT tank because they are my babies and I was concerned that they may struggle to get to top to breathe.
5) yes display tank is cycled, 120 lbs sand, 150 lbs of live rock. Been running for 4 months. Current inhabitants:::: 2 clowns, Niger trigger, blue jaw trigger, lawnmower blenny, harlequin tusk, 2 spot wrasse, sunshine wrasse.
The original 125 they were moved from is over a year old.
The 60 gal qt was just set up for this emergency. Used water and rock from the 125.
