Basically I've been treating my flame angel for some type of parasite-ich, brookynella etc...with hypo and Desafin. I think I've rid the fish of the parasite, but now the fish has severe equlibrium problems. He is now starting to breath noramal and inspite of not eating for about 12 days, his color and body are excellent. He is now trying to eat. The major problem is he is fighting to swim upright constantly and has been since the first modified freshwater bath--SG 1.03 for half an hour with desafin which is a mixture of Formalin and Quinine.
This fish was just about dead after my modified freshwater/salt bath (SPG 1.04) and was barely breathing, in fact he laid on his side for two days before he decided he would attempt to really try and fight for his life. Now he is fighing, but I think I need to take a new direction with my approach. I am thinking I might try and raise the salinity in the tank, but keeping desafin in to keep any parasites from making another attack. Any thoughts would be helpful. This was my second attempt using hypo so I have little experience with it.
Some additional Info: It's been 11 days since treatment began, the water quality is excellent.
