Sick Raphael.
Posted: 23 Dec 2013, 18:08
Hi,
I have three striped Raphael catfish, that are sick, actually only one left as I have had to euthanize one and the other passed away.
Quick bit of background on the fish.
They were in a 200litre holding tank with four Hoplo’s and two angels as i am in the process of a messy house move.
Tank is well filtered etc, the parameters for the tank are temp 25c, ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 30ppm. PH 7, weekly water change 25%
I noticed a bacterial infection on my angel then an ICH outbreak due to the weakened fish, I have been treating with Esha 2000 and Exit.
One Raphael remains and is out during lights on, swimming at the top of the tank the same way as the other two that are now gone.
I don’t want the fish to suffer a horrible death see attached picture of the one that passed away. But I don’t want to euthanize if there is a chance I can save him.
The Hoplo’s and Angels are fine and responded well to the treatment.
