Ok so I have a puffer, lion, panther grouper, Angel and trigger in a 150 gallon tank.
The grouper and puffer started to rub in sand and flash. So we got prazipro to treat.
First treatment was last Thursday. The lion had a bad reaction and had to be pulled within 5 min (gasping for air, floating upside down). Did ok in bucket. Put him back next day and was fine.
Everyone at that time was great. Eating, swimming. Did a water change on Sunday and added carbon to the socks.
Last night the puffer began rubbing again in the sand. Refused to eat. Staying at bottom of tank.
This morning we found the grouper dead.
Water tested. 1.027 salt. 8.0 ph, zero ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. We had 10 nitrates until Sunday when we added the carbon.
I again treated with prazipro today. I went slower, adding the amount of 140 gallons over a 3 hour time frame. Nobody reacted today off. So nobody was pulled.
Now tonight the puffer has a cloudy eye. He is staying curled in a ball under a rock. Every so often he comes out and swims but refusing to eat. The lion is laying on bottom of tank quiet. Swam very little today.
Both have rapid breathing.
The Angel is refusing to eat.
Anything else I can try? I have melafix here but read not to mix the meds.
thanks
