Over the coarse of this year a number of my taeniatus nyete have started their death spiral by first showing symptoms of popeye. They swim eat and do all the healthy things they do. The next stage is clamped fins, no feeding and lay still at the bottom of the tank until they die.
I also have a colony of taeniatus moliwe that although in another tank they get the exact same water, food....everything...the same as the nyetes, but have never fallen to this disease. Twice this year i scraped the tank of my nyete colony sterilized and even changed substrate, plants, filter, thermometer and all other components of its make up.
I have tried many brands of med to treat the symptoms but always fail. I have blamed this failure to not catching the disease on time or poor dosage or wrong diagnosis.
Today I would like to ask the forum for help. Has anyone had this experience and found med that works? Also, am I missing my diagnosis and treating for the wrong thing? Basically any help will be of great help on this.
thank you
