Howdy!! I have posted a couple of times now about my Black moor/oranda. First, he got anchor worms and an infection from them. Now he has fungus and fin rot and the infection isn't gone. He also has what resembles dropsy. What do I do?????
I should list what I've done so far.
I quarantined him in a ten gallon and added a couple doses of salt and treated with fluke tabs for the worms. I also put a little neosporin on his infection that seemed to help a little. The worms seem to be gone but I was doing 1/2 water changes daily and now my bacteria are gone, mostly sucked out and some killed by the med. Then I started Neomycin for the infection, did a couple of doses but got scared today because the fin rot is bad and his side is swollen (like one sided dropsy) and he sits on the bottom and wont hardly eat. Also, the side that isn't swollen is caved in like he's starving. So what I did was carbon filtered out the meds and now I'm treating with Fungus clear that helps fin rot, fungus and dropsy.
I plan on doing the full treatment of this stuff while applying neosporin to the wound, Then if the wound doesn't go away, treat with neomycin again. I also am thinking about using water from my other healthy tanks in place of RO water for a few changes. Maybe this way I can get a little bit of bacteria back in there before I have a huge ammonia spike.
If you have any ideas, please let me know. I can't seem to get this fish well. He just has too many things wrong.
