24 hours now almost exactly. He and the damsel have been fine all day. Swimming around and such. But now even the damsel appears to be distressed....
He is still responsive when I started taking water out of the tank he got and swam a bit. So raise the salt levels with just 1 gallon instead of 2...
I went directly from 1.25 to 1.01. There was no slow drop in salinity. I have read that is the best thing to do. So that is what I did. The fish...
I am going to remove 2 gallons of water and then add 2 gallons of water with double the salt levels I would normally have. Its a 20 gallon tank. I...
Anybody???
Water parameters are PH 8.0, amonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5 ppm and salinity 1.01
How slowly? If I try to put him back in the original tank I will be going from 1.01 to 1.25. I think I am going to lose this fish. It might be too...
No I do not have a refractometer as I have to order it....I am still using a hydrometer.

My angel again is showing signs of ich tonight. Only this time he is covered in tiny white spots. They are hard to see at this point but I think...
I noticed tonight while gettin up close and personal with my tank and trying to take a pic some sort of tiny white worms on the glass. I am guessing...
Tried taking a pic but the fish was not cooperative. Swims too fast to get a good look at the white spot on his forehead. Another question I...
Incognito I am not sure how to place pics on here.....
As of today the angel does look great. Very active and eating very well. However, there is one small spot I am worried about. About a quarter inch...
Agreed....a quarantine is the most effective. I cannot argue that. And thank you....I too am very happy my fish is doing well. Maybe it was the...
