Sick puffer
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:07 pm
I have a green spotted puffer. He’s starting to grow a fuzzy white patch over his eye and now has one on his chin,his belly turned black,and is swimming irregular.
He’s in a tank with an albino Cory,two snails,and a barb. I have a fern in the water.
I took a 6-1 test and it’s awful.
Nitrate 200
Nitrite-3.0
Hardness-300
Chlorine-0
Alkalinity-o
Ph-6.2
I don’t know how to fix all the testing. I clean the tank once every 1-2 weeks. I feed them frozen brine shrimp.
I bought pimafix from the store today and put it in.(I noticed the spot yesterday morning and immediately cleaned the tank and thought that would help but it spread and his belly turned black. Should I quarantine him? No other fish is having problems.
The tank has been cycling for about 8 months.
I did a 50% water change yesterday so I could clean the gravel a bit. Should I remove the gravel? It seems to collect a lot of food and waste.
I moved the tank in front of a window about 3-4 weeks ago and moss started growing on the fern. I’m not sure if that affects anything but that was a change.
I also had a fake plant in the water but I took it out yesterday aswell.
I’m going to try to get methylene blue tomorrow but idk if that will work please help me.
