Catfish has white spots and lesions. redness also

Post by dorkside »

One syno developed the patches a week ago. Then a syno I have separated, because the other two pick on him, started getting the same patched and red skin at the base of the dorsal.

The green in the water is from Fungus medicine. I've also tried Pimafix based on the fish stores recommendation.

I've been changing 25% of the water every other day. Water tests for nitrates, ph and ammonia are within range.

I raised the water temperature to 80 from 76.

Please help!!! Thank You.

This is not enough. What are the numbers for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH and how, with what kit, are they measured?
