I noticed two of my fish got fungus/tail rot, another just died out of the blue. I have no idea how you would go about treating them if they are impossible to catch. No way I will remove all the rocks and such and stress everyone else while trying to catch one fast sick fish. There's nearly no aggression, just a bit of chasing off, none are adults or bigger than 2.5in.
The other died, the one with the tail issue is alive, most of his tail is now solid white. I finally caught him and separated him from the others.
If the tank already has salt[1tsp per 5g] and is just chalk full of rocks and such that is not removable, how do you guys catch or treat these fish or any sick fish? All others are doing fabulous, eat like pigs, swim and explore none stop.
I don't think the 1 fish is savable, the white is far up on his body, if he does survive, he will be tailless. Never had any fish with any rot or fungus, kinda think they were sick when I got them...idk.
Also, can Mbuna fry grow up in softer water than they technically need? Don't have a spare tank for them to set up and all, not til awhile at least. I got them a bigger, better net to be in for now.
