So I haven't had any problems with fish illness in fish that I've had for any substantial amount of time. The fish have either arrived sick, or died from other causes, or are still alive. Well, until the past two days.
Three of my bettas have tail rot, despite my having recently increased my water change schedule (recently meaning about two months ago). I had a guppy die of dropsy and one of the remaining two females appears to be developing pop eye. And to top it all off, one of my last two tetras (the others died because they were dyed, ) has a funny white patch on his face that doesn't appear to be either fungus or ich, but certainly wasn't there last time I looked.
I've got all of these fish but the guppy in my divided tank (yes, even the tetra) and am treating with tetracyclin, as it says it treats pop eye and fin rot... I don't know about the tetra's problem but I don't know what's wrong with him anyway. I put my healthy female guppy into the fry bucket and am also treating the other female with tetracyclin. Before I added the tetracyclin tablets, I did 50% water changes so that the water is nice and clean. Temperature is about 80, I'm working on getting it up to 84. Wish me luck!
