After an infestation of camallanus woke me up to the necessity of QT and treating with levimasole because internal parasites may not be detectable for months and by then the entire stock can be infected. The only prophylactic treatment that I ALWAYS do with new fish in quarantine is levimasole for internal parasites. I had planned on waiting and observing first, but the white belly made me think parasites. I did not start medicating until they kept dying. Fingers crossed they still are when I get home this evening! I don't want to cause harm to the Angels so I bumped the heater up a bit and turned fan up and pointed more air flow in that direction. I would have to buy another fan for it.Īctually down to 76.4 this morning. I am also considering moving some feeder guppies out of a ten gallon and move the tetras there, but it gets warm too so idk. If so, I will pick up a few more before starting the levimasole treatment on that tank.
I hope this helps the three left to survive. Whew! It's always something in this hobby! Big temperature swings can be stressful too so I am being careful of that as well. I don't want it too low for my baby Angels so I set the heater to 76 and pulled the fan back a little to keep it from dropping too much overnight. They are closer to 7", maybe 8".ħ7.8 so much better. They were tee tiny when I got them and had no idea they would grow so big! They are listed as max size 6" on sites I have researched. The leopard spots are certainly different. I have to think about rearranging fish to get lower temp compatible fish together in a separate tank. I think I will ask my aunt to close them earlier, but my house plants need some sun. It is close to 100 degrees this week here in north Georgia so it's challenging to keep the house cool, especially that room for some reason and that's with someone closing room darkening curtains around noon. The temp is already down to 79.8 so the fan is working. On that tank.Īmmonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate about 5 ph 7.4-7.6 (which is the same ph as lfs- I had him test his when a batch of rummy nose did the same thing, but 2nd batch survived and are thriving) Or maybe they were enjoying the spray bar, idk. I did notice they seemed to be getting pulled towards the internal filter, cascade 455, so I turned it down to lowest setting.
I want at least 6 in the school so I cannot lose any more! All 6 angelfish are good. Well, I had some baby cichlids to trade in and they had a new batch of them that were a bit smaller at the lfs so I picked up 9 along with 6 angelfish about dime size to go into a 20 gallon long QT. I want a school to go in with my electric blue rams and kuhlis. I bought 8, only one survived quarantine. I am now on my second batch of von rio tetras. Is there anything special about the care of these little buggers?
