I have lurked this part of the forum only to offer assistance and never hoped to post a thread but here I am...
So I just finished a Flucanazole treatment for HA about 5 days, did a 25 gallon water change on a 70 gallon system.
Everyone was happy and doing well, my skimmer has been on the fritz so I took it offline. I don't think that it caused my bacterial bloom since this just happened to start Friday and it's been off for over a week.
I noticed my Starry Blenny who is the oldest fish in my tank acting strange, swimming upward and then last night I saw him being lethargic and breathing heavily. He's really pale and has fin rot that looks like it's just starting.
He's the only one in the tank that's got fin rot, so far a few other fish were swimming at the surface and being strange. I did a FW dip to rule out Flukes on a few suspect fish.
I think it's from a bacterial infection, I was really worried it could be ICH or Velvet but I think I've ruled it out for now.
I was reading up that Melafix could help? or should I get a UV light? So far it looks like the bloom has cleared up, don't know what it could be from?
