I have 3 perculas in the tank (only fish). 2 of them that I bought at the same LFS are developing what I think is Brooklynella and haven't eaten since I got them on Monday. The other seems stressed and his been nipped at(he's been eating). I haven't witnessed them picking at him but his fins have some indentations. I'm going to Walmart right now following TheGrog's instructions for a 10 gal QT. Grog-"A simple 10 gallon tank (like $8), a HOT filter, small heater, air pump and a sponge filter is all you need. Put some PVC in there for structure, paint or cover the bottom (fish don't like the clear/reflective bottom, stressful) and you have a QT/hospital tank! Total cost around $35." Any other suggestions on what I should get? Obviously, I don't have time to cycle the tank so I'm gonna take a piece of LR and a cup of LS from my DT and purchase some Amquel hopefully at Walmart if not tomorrow at the LFS. After that, what's my next move?
These are my first fish and they're not dying under my watch. Need help....
