Silver Dollar might be sick:(
- Thread starter thebrandon
- Start date
i just found the salt to gallon ration on here it was 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon. I ended up doing a little less then slowly let it into the water with an air hose so everyone could sort of adjust to the new level of salinity, and yes I pre-dissolved the salt
Just a quick update, the white spots on one silver dollar seem to be turning yellowish brown. I don't know if this is a sign of the meds working or not, but everything on his face is turning from white to a more crisp looking yellowish brown
Once I treated the tank last night with the coppersafe I noticed that the infection had spread a little further this morning, but from what I have read that is normal since meds were just added last night. And then when I added the salt, that is when I noticed the infection starting to change color. I really hope this is a sign of things turning around.
Any more tips or suggestions on how to fight this are very welcome, I really do appreciate all the help so far
EDIT:
Here is a video of the fish, the bigger one is the one with the stuff on his mouth. Please ignore the reflection of my leg haha

EDIT AGAIN:
Here is a picture, I finally got one in focus sorta
This is a pic of the fish and it's been just 2 or 3 days since symptoms have shown up...I wasn't having any problems in the tank until I introduced this little guys:-/

The fish was put out of his misery. I am still treating the tank however because I don't want my other fish to get sick
