what are your water perameters? how often do you do water changes? Is the aquarium new? Did you use stress coat when you put them in or after any fish being in the net? Did you remember to take the carbon out of the filter after putting in the medication? Ich is fairly common and can be easy to treat, but it sounds like your dealing with some other type of parasite.

Sounds like some sort of bacterial or parasitic infection.

Check out this website: http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html and see if anything looks familiar.

Definately do some water changes, and look for a medication that would treat both bacterial and parasitic infections (I'm pretty sure that most parasite medications do, like this one).

At least, that's my advice.

I would recommend using Clout, I've been using it to treat my betta's flukes (a gill parasite) and it cleared him up in days. Now he is recovering and beginning to heal But, definitely do some google searches for betta diseases or betta illnesses, you will find tons of info, pictures, recommended treatments, etc...hope your fishies get better

i already gave them ich medication.just as my lfs instructed.but i think its killing my fish even quicker.is it possiable that it can do that.

Normally no, as long as you are giving the med's in the right amount. However if it isn't ick, and it doesn't sound like it is, then what ever they have is just getting worse.

 

[bala_aquarium]

my lfs for some strange reson kept the dead fish( i brought them back for a refund)they did something to find out it was internal parisites.i got new fish after cleaning the tank.so i was upset but everything went back to normal

 

[pigs_fly]

well true, but y LFS told me that clout works for all tropical fish...thats the only reason I recommended it, its what they use on their tanks at the store

 

[ninamarie]

What kind of fish were they?

 

[bala_aquarium]

tiger barbs and albino tiger barbs

Plenty of links above to help with understanding what happened. As for the scratching on the rocks, that's classic stressed behavior. Not seeing any other info on it, I'd say check your loading and filter capacity. Usually what you describe is seen in overstocked or poorly maintained tanks.

 

[bala_aquarium]

they told me by looking at the fish what happened.i asked is there something i should have done differently and they said no.they said that your filter was perfect and my paremeters i have written down somewhere i find them in a little bit.
