Today I found out my favorite fish "Jackie" ( I would like to think
she is a girl) has hole in the head. She has not lost her appetite & is behaving normally except for sometimes trying to scratch herself on the driftwood. I read somewhere on the net that earthworms fed to the fish by itself will cure it without a need to use medication, I will also perform 50% water change twice a week until she cures herself & then go back to my maintenance schedule of a 50% water change every other week. I would like to stick to the earthworm method because I never liked the Idea of using medication on my tank, and my former quarantine tanks 1 is full of guppy fry and the other, a 30 gallon tank is empty & has no filter, so If i were to use medication it would have to be in the main tank. My x girlfriend added the rams, the gouramis & a female guppy without placing them in quarantine before introducing them to the tank. But maybe that is not part of the problem, or perhaps I am wrong. If anyone has an advice Jackie & I will be very grateful. And if anyone thinks different I encourage them to post their advice anything that can be useful. Thanks in advance. 55 gallon Tank Emperor 400 Power Filter ph 6.8-7.0 Temp 82-84 ammonia nitrites & nitrates 0 5 Aponogeton plants from Wal-Mart 1 6" Discus 2 4" Clown Loaches 8 Cardinal Tetras 5 Fancy Guppies 5 Ottos 5 Amano Shrimp 2 Dwarf Gouramis 3 Zebra Danios 2 German Blue Rams |
