disease

[Steve_B]

. I have a service that maintains my aquariums. I don't have the time with my 2 jobs

The fish have been dying off one my one, and the service has no idea what the problem is. They just keep replacing the ones that die with replacements.

It seems they come down with this disease after one dies and the next one gets it and after that one dies another one gets it and over and over.
There are only 3 of the original ones left alive.

They start to have slightly ragged fins and all they do now is swim in the filter pipe that shoots the filtered water back into the tank. It appears that they are trying to get relief from the forceful water to help feel better or something else.

Is there anything I can pass onto my business manager that deals with the service to possibly help?

It is not a money issue at all. I'm not at home a lot, sometimes gone for months at a time. When the precious time I have to be home comes around, I feel sad that my old friends have passed away

possibly ich or some other parasite. best thing to do to prevent the disease from spreading is to set up a quarantine tank for each of the fish and let the disease pass. That way they won't be in the display tank spreading to the others.

they said there would be white spots. This is something they say they have never seen before. they said it cold be something that spreads from one to the other. they just keep dying off one at a time. first 1 has it, it dies, then another gets it and dies and so on and it just keeps killing them off 1 by 1. I say everytime 1 of my friends dies, and then there 3. That's the way it keeps going. there are only 3 of the ones i have had for years.
