Fish_Frenzy Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 What's your water parameters? I would say start with a big water change (60% -70%) and some melafix. Hope this helps some. I always start with a water change and go from there. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distichodus Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) could it be cause you have had the lights on continously for the last 2 years? Edited June 6, 2008 by Distichodus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 water paramaters have not changed any considerable amount...... feedings have not changed... water changes have stayed consistant .....(60-70 gallons every 5 days) Yes, I have never turned the light off ( bass tank only) in over 2 years but I dont think thats the problem...but Ill consider that as an option HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM??????????????? PLEASE HELP ME????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORVETTE Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i agree with fish frenzy but add some aquarium salt as well one table spoon for every five gallons. I have one comming back fro this right know and it finally started eating again last night. The eyes on mine looked more like they were scratched than anything else but my aro was kinda messed up as well.. maybe a little fighting going on... There's always been a lot of talk about salt in fresh water to use or not to use all i can say when there s scales missing fins shreaded and open wounds nothing works better than salt good luck not to many of us on here with peacocks so ineed your to be healthy.

CORVETTE Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 P.S remove your carbon in your filters while treating them. Carbon just removes all the medication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Apparently Its ammonia burn......did a 60-70% water change and added salt, no meds.. . I hope this works. I just saw this - definitely ammonia burn. Look for whatever dead thing is causing the ammonia spike as well or it will happen again.
