I treated him for white spot for about a week, but the white bits on his fins didn't go, so i changed the medication to one that covers more things and that seems to have cleared those white spots up, but now he still looks funny. Got like white patches on him, i thought it was because of the flicking against things and it damaging his scales, but i don't know.
Hmm, i might try and do a proper clean then, maybe that will help him. I did a large water change when i swapped medication a few days ago.
Oh, i didn't know that, will have to keep that in mind, thank you.
The temperature is 28.something when i last checked, normally it's about 26.something, but i turned it up when i read that too lower temperature can cause lethargy and that. Thinking maybe that will help him.
I do see what you mean, a lot of fish in stores are poorly looked after and maybe my tank is much better than that, but i just can't stop thinking that i've done something wrong somewhere and that's why all the fish bar the two Otos keep dying. And especially after just 2 months with me. Makes me think i've really messed up somewhere, as 2 months is not long at all. Ah, impressive. Wish my fish lasted that long. Though the one Oto we have had for more than a year now.
I am trying not to give up on him and i so desperately want him to get better, as i miss watching him flare and chase the algae wafer and all that. But part of me worries i am not doing enough to help him, even though i don't know what else i can do.
