Sick Clown needing diagnostics
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2007 4:09 pm
Hello again, I am sorry to be wasting more of your time, but if you have a momment, I would apreciate it.
I posted earlier with a tank that was suffering from old tank syndrom,
http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php ... highlight=
and I have made lots of chages to help fix this.
I put in about 13 moss balls to help absorb nitrates, and I also replaced the substrate with pool sand.
The chemicals have remanined relativly unchanged,
Nirtite - 0
Nitrate - 30
Ammonia - 0
Ph - 7.4
This is dispite me doing water changes once every two to three days (4 gallons) on a 55 gallon tank.
Anyhow, I have already decided that the way to fix this is to just do more water changes, more frequently.
But is there anything I can do to save this fish?
And are you sure that it is High levels of Nitrate that is doing this?
Please, if you could double check, I would really apreciate it.
