Sigh...My GF kenna raising scale and protruding eyes again.....previous fishes also suffer same fate and died. Any idea how to cure and what is the causes?
Have been doing WC for every 4 days for a 3x1.5x1.5 tank. Diet mainly is frozen blood worm. Also add in more areation....

1. stop feeding.
2. sound like dropsy(can get medication from LFS) and internal bacterial infection or just salt 0.5%.

cause: FBW fouls the water quite fast, so dun feed too much....if they do recover, feed pellets, FBW maybe once in the morning.

a case of poor water quality.

If fbw is their staple diet or a dominant food, the internal infection could come from the poorly treated fbw (i.e weak UV treatment) .. one area to look into IMO.

yes FBW is their main food. Normally I will defroze the worm in a small container of water..then once defroze, I will pour everything..inclusive of water into the tank.

not about how it is fed to fish bro leo-lim, is about how well the fbw was treated/UVed/sterilized before they pack them up...

over feeding with FBW is the issue...I think...btw are these still under quarantine? basically a water quality issue...over feed pellets also can lead to poor water quality.

for this case I don't see why you need to put in container to refroze it... is the same you throw it into the tank seen you pour in the water also....

what type of filter you use?

how many fishes are there in the tank and how often do you feed?
