mind if i jump in and ask a related question? i've a newly purchased royal grama, seems to be developing one cloudy and "puffy" eye. also fins abit closed. fish has been eating well (frozen brine, formula 1 flakes). now he seems abit more reclusive, in his hole alot.
i recently (2 weeks ago) lost a royal grama and alligator blenny to what i thought was bacterial infection. again both were new less than two weeks in my tank. fyi i'm trying to set up a 30 gal live rock,fish, and currently 3 large bubble tip anenomes. i started 2/1/06.
with the last loss i'd tried mel and pima fix...ran it the recommended 7days. figured i started too late to save the two fish i lost. one large tomato clown is still v. happy in his bubble tips.
so now i'm looking at a similar symptom in a new r. grama. my chemistry checks out : pH 8.2, NH3 0.125, NO2 0.025, NO3 0.0, sp. gr. 1.022, T 79.0.
am i wasting time and fish w/the mela and pima fix?...i've read a few threads and know there varying opinnions.
thoughts?
