So I think I had the flukes.
my panther has been rubbing fins in sand, hanging on top/bottom, and flashing past 3 days.
My dog puffer started rubbing in sand last night.
then my lion did flashing.
so I treated the tank just now with prazipro. Took forever to get here! Local stores don’t carry it. I had to order online.
panther has not moved as of yet from his spot.
The puffer still under the rock since this morning. He was breathing fast at first but now he has slowed down.
but my lion! Just had a heart attack. Not even 5 minutes in, he started swimming crazy, in power heads, gasping for air, upside down.
ran and got a bucket of RODI water, mixed in salt fast, added a air stone and threw the lion in there. He is acting a lot better. Swimming around now without issues.
but what happened? What can I do to treat the lion?
my power heads are all to surface. uV off. Skimmer off. No carbon in sump.
Water is all RODI. Salt at .0124, temp 79. Ammonia zero, nitrites zero, ph at 8.0.
the nitrates with api shows 20-40 (in middle).
I did order a new nitrate test, just waiting for it. So I won’t keeping using api.
but anyone have suggestions or ideas? Or anything?
we are monitoring the puffer and panther and will remove if needed also
