| In my 29 gallon tank all looks well and all levels seem ok.. Ph might be a bit low. A couple of my bloodfins look really bad tonite... eye cloud and fin rot. Ammonia is at ideal level from doin the test.. Any suggestions? | |

| Straw if there is a chance that your fish has popeye you will want to get it out of the main tank and into a quarintine tank. Popeye is very contagiouse (sp). You have to treat it with Amoxisilline(sp) | |

| Do a 60% water change now and 25% every 3 days. How long has this tank been running? Has it cycled? What is your stock in the tank? |
