Well, semi-survived. Two of five fishes lived through what I thought was Ich, which was soon followed by a major bacterial breakout (possibly septicemia). A white slime settled on everything, but it died and ended up in my filter when I treated for the ich, which was a lucky accident. Poor guys were on the brink of death, but they look healthy and active now (what I can see through the fog left in my water from the meds). I've treated for the five-day course recommended on the Meracyn box, but I've read advice recommending a 7 or 10-day course of the antibiotic. Any advice? Should I do a partial w/c before beginning another course, to alleviate the cloudiness? Amm 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10. Thanks for reading!:thumbsup:
