Im wondering if anyone knows of a really good Tropical Fish disease site? And I'm not talking about the sites where all they do is copy a disease chart from a bottle of medicine.
Although if anyone can help here's the problem...
Bought 2 Bala's about 3 weeks ago. About a week and 1/2 ago one Bala's fins starting turning red. About 2 days later the other ones did too. So I took them out and put them in my hospital tank. I started them on MarOxy. That didnt seem to be working so 2 days later I started using Maracyn-Two.
The red seemed to be going away for the most part. But today I found one Bala upside down in the plants gasping for air. So I moved the plants a bit and he took off. Then a couple of minutes later back in the plants upside down. I moved them again. Now for about an hour so far he's back to being "normal". Although today his fins are very frayed. They wern't before. Have i over medicated by using 2 different medications? Does it get worse before it gets better?? Should I continue with my treatment? And yes my water conditions are all normal. I also keep my hospital tank salted. Is that a problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh and they had clamped fins. The healthier ones fins are all good now...but the other one...his bottom fins are still clamped.
