Hi,
I just treated my tank with naladin, my gourami ate some of the powder that was floating and died Any ideas???
He wasn't well before I treated, slight popeye, slow moving but still getting around and eating, and I've been having other fish dying so that is why I treated w/Naladin.
It started a couple months ago with some new Rams & White clouds. I quarantined them for 2 weeks they were all fine, then moved them into the 20 gal. Within a couple weeks the Rams got popeye and a white cloud started having concave stomach. I treated the whole tank then with Pipzine, but still lost 2 Rams and the white clouds started wasting away and dying one at a time down to 2 out of 8, and lost 1 of my pygmy Cory's.
I did a water change and added 2 capsules of naladin directly into the tank, the powder floated around and the gourami ate a few pieces. I watched the tank for 15 mins, everyone seemed fine so I went for a walk. When I came back he was floating around like a leaf and just letting the current take him, then he'd rally to get some air and go back to floating around the tank. I did remove him and put him in a bath w/methylene blue but he didn't come around.
At this point the rest of the fish seem fine so I am leaving the naladin in to complete the 24 hours.
Just wondering if I did something wrong by adding the powder directly in the tank?
Should I do something differently if I use naladin or other capsuled powder meds in the future?
Params before the water change & adding meds:
20 gal
74.5 degrees
PH 7
KH 80
GH 300 (maxes out the strip and has always been high even when using a liquid test, tap water tests at 150)
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 20
wondershell in tank
Fish remaining;
2 WCMM
4 Corydoras Pygmaeus
5 Rummynose Tetra (always bright red faces and have had them for over a year)
1 BN pleco
Everyone seems fine, one of the WCMM was getting thin a couple weeks ago but has rebounded and seems fine now, but I had others waste and recover only to waste again and die so I thought I'd give the Naladin a try especially when the gourami started showing popeye.
So open to thoughts and the 2 main questions again are;
-Just wondering if I did something wrong by adding the powder directly in the tank?
-Should I do something differently if I use naladin or other capsuled powder meds in the future?
