Disease of my blue Eye Panaque Suttoni

[M1ks1n0]

Hi guys, anyone have experience of this disease? Is it just bad water or what? Friends told me just keep feeding and change water every 7 days up to 20 %
Or should i use something to help him?

Please can you tell us a bit more about your setup, tank size, maintenance regime, water parameters, water flow rate, what you're feeding, how long you've had the fish, etc.

Tank looks rrally nice but I'm surprised your not seeing other fish with problems. Your not changing nearly enough water.

Up the water changes by at least 50% a week. I would do several a week for a few weeks and see if that clears up your royal.

Goodluck

50%? Isnt to much? Ok ill try that, so u think its by bad water?

[Shane]

I suspect you made it a year without problems only because you have such good filtration. As Dis said, 50% weekly water changes for so many big fish would be a minimum. However, do not just immediately do one large water change. I would recommend changing 20% daily for the 5-7 days and then getting on a schedule of changing 50-60% weekly.

Ok guys, so u think its just by bad water? Well ill do it now change
+- 20% of tank everyday, after ill start to make every 3 - 4 days +- 25% of tank. He is still eating so i hope he will be ok, díky i have to add some minerals or vitamins?

[Shane]

I would not add anything. You should start seeing improvement in a few days.

Yes increase water change. Also if you can keep the tank dark and add additional aeration like air stone.

Ok, thanks to all, ill let z know

Hi guys, its not going better, this photo is from today morning

Just curious, when did you added L330 ?

[M1ks1n0]

L330 was there 2 years before Suttoni

[Shane]

Are any other fish impacted? This appears to be bacterial.

[M1ks1n0]

All other fish are Fine, i Have already bought sera bactopur direct, i was agree it can be by bad water, but i now change almost 20% every Day

[M1ks1n0]

I Will post u over here the pic of the water parameters, Just i change water today, well i got ready to use entizol and bactopur direct, but i still hope its just about water. I made every Day 20% but i didnt see it anything change for good mode. Maybe it need more time, just dont wanna lose him.

[amiidae]

The symptom looks like what our local hobbyists called "Panaque plague".. for some reasons, L330 are immune to it.

[M1ks1n0]

Can i fight whit it?

[amiidae]

Suspect it is due bacterial or viral but locally no success in treating.
