hello, have had my tank up for 10+ years, 2 fish for the last 5 years, recently my wrasse has been acting funny, laying on mushrooms and a frag rack, heavier breathing, not being out. i was able to put it in a large acclimation box for a day, no change.
yesterday i set up a quick 10 gallon, and purchased the api general cure. reading the directions i am seeing after 48 hours, redose, then water change. Visibly i saw a bit of white poo, not stringy, shorter . nothing else visibly on the outside is different. he curls a bit, and looks not quite right, might have been spooked by the other fish and hurt his spine or something else. Not exactly sure. the api treatment is a try something if its internal.
was reading about mixing this med with another, and re adding the api gc after 5-7 days. that part was confusing to me.
thoughts or opinions ??
i also lowered the temp to 76, should i go lower ?? (have a controller on the 10g QT, so temp adjustment is easy)
filters i have a aquaclear, and a whisper/tetra. aquaclear is just for flow, i have the sponge in the tetra one, no carbon or filter pack. i also have the ammonia badge arriving tomorrow . this is just 1 fish in the 10g.
thanks very much for your time,
