neatfreak Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 QT would be cheaper and best for the one fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 How come your nitrAtes are 0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagz Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Pop eye is generally not contagious. Yes why are your nitrates 0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanner944 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 they are just slightly off the zero colour of my test kit, so i call them zero. i also just did a large water change. i have 2 eheim 2217, 2 rena xp3 and 2 AC500's on my tank. and i do weekly water changes so the water quality is good. as for the pop eye, i have now isolated the fish and started treatment. i hope she re-coups -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
