The hepatus tang has cloudy eyes. The Sailfin too has cloudy eyes and shredded fins which are likely a product of aggression. The dots I believe may be Neobendendia flukes or bacterial issue in relation to elevated ammonia. If flukes, some signs you will see are (which some are present) - rapid breathing, fish acting lethargic or swimming near the water surface, hiding in the corner of tank or behind rocks, loss of appetite, shaking its head, flashing/darting, develop clamped fins, , or scratching against objects. They may also exhibit what looks like yawning from gill irritation develop, cloudy eyes and loss of color.
This is awesome. Thank you so much. This is way above my level of expertise but from your description it seems to be a fluke.
a Qt system can be as simple as a starter kit from Walmart which most of the needed essentials. . . . . Petco has all tanks at half price and even a clear rubber maid like tub would suffice.
Chances are, all fish are infected. If sick fish has been in water with them for 1 week. The water is now contaminated.
Great
Sorry, it's how illness works. Ever get put in a room with someone who has the flu for a week?
Also, a Rubbermaid tub would work wonders. I don’t have a QT tank either and typically resort to tuppleware or anything I have lying around.
Thanks man. Truly appreciated.
The disposal is more fun for sure but it can stink up the house.
This is exactly my point. You’re just being a jerk for the fun of it.
The thing is, this isn't just reddit or facebook, this is a small community of passionate hobbyists that tend to care immensely for our aquariums and all the life within. Crass comments like this, while may seem like a simple joke to you, can be fairly disgusting and barbaric to many of us. You wouldn't go onto a dog forum and joke about killing your dog in some over the top manner, for instance.
Point taken and my apologies to all.
I didn't flush him. Figure of speech. He was barely alive when I took him out. He went quickly for sure.
