Hi guys, I am interested as to how your Oscar is doing on the mela/pimafix treatment? I have a baby oscar that got sick last week. His symptoms look to be exactly like yours. I have had him sepatated in a nursing tank from my other fish since about 3 days after his symptoms first showed... I started Melafix about 5 days ago... He has recently started eating and swimming around again a bit, but his physical condition has only gotten worse. His color is starting to return but the poor guy barely has any fins left.
He is currently in a 3 gallon tank, i am changing about 20% water daily. I will be picking up this pimafix tomorrow... hopefully it helps.
I am slightly new to the aquarium community, this site looks like the place to be for knowledgeable advice. Any other ideas on what else i should pick up tomorrow... or am i doing the best i can?
The water temp is a steady 81 degrees F and pH is and has been a steady 7.5-7.6 in both tanks. I have been changing water in my main tank 30% every 2 weeks, vaccuming the rocks well and cleaning the rocks i have set up as hiding places. The tank is pretty spotless and the filters stay clean.
