Somehow....It is hard to tell on some of the fish in the tank but I dont see anymore cysts on fish..... I am not even at a week treatment I will rpobably keep the treatment going for 3 weeks all together unless I see more cysts..

BAAM!!!! out of the blue I lost another green tiger barb... I checked Parameters and they seem to be on target...
Ammonia 0
P.H. 7.6
Nitrate 5
Nitrite 0
I am not sure how long he had been dead but he did seem bloated.. I guess I will do another 40% water change tomorrow and keep applying the salt and Prime.... Not sure what else to do...

remind us how much salt you are using? How bout your water change routine, can you tell us what steps you take? (not trying to be an *ss, just trying to get the big picture...)
Did the barb show signs of ich at any point?

I used 2 tsp per gallon 50 g = 100 tsp's. Since I found the Ich I done 2 water changes one on Sunday July 9th I did at 25% change or so. I only added 1 tsp per gallon and gradually turn heater to 85. I did another wc on July 16th did a 90% change along with a gravel vac and went to 2. The one that died, I saw no visible signs of Ich. I.E. No white spots or flashing...
Lost my last green Tiger Barb tonight.... Really at my wits end. :mad2:
I guess al fish bloat or swell after they die? This one weem like it had a rather large belly... It was stuck to the filter intake screen when I found it... I guess it was too weak to swim from the suction..
Lost in space

cajinfry,
I went back and read your original post that said you were given the tank -- this might be stretching but by any chance do you know or can you find out if the previous owner used any copper based and/or algicide products in the tank at any point? Perhaps get a list of meds s/he'd put in while they had it?
Also, why did they get rid of the tank? Did they have any unexplained deaths?
