So I'm a usual observer of my boys... I noticed over the past few days that Tian-Tian was sulking in his castle a lot and he was sitting very lazily on the bottom of his tank. Water changes didn't seem to help at all. I even added my last bit of methylene blue (which worked in the past) and even THAT didn't work. His water temp has stayed constant, so I've ruled that out.
I finally took a closer look today. What I originally thought was a peeling scale turned out to be..... yup, ICH. AGAIN. It's all over his head. It's not really major (since I've caught it early once again), but DANG that stuff can spread quickly!
I'm convinced acne is to a teenager as ich is to Tian-Tian. :-? Freakin' fish.
Also, I noticed a funky, discolored spot on his pectoral fin that I don't want to see turn into finrot. So I've put some Jungle Fungus Clear into his tank. Already he seems to have brightened up considerably and is moving about again, almost back to normal. Except his water is a different shade from Taco's tank due to the Jungle. :-D
Hopefully Tian-Tian will pull through like he always does. His water temp is 79 degrees F. I took a baster and sucked out excess gunk off the bottom of his tank (which seems to be appearing overnight, since I JUST gave him a 100% water change just Saturday afternoon! What gives??).
Anything else I can do for him? :-(
