Wolf Fish Aquarium Care – Warning Live Feedings
Aquarium wolf fish tank Care and setup. Try and get your wolf fish to eat some pellets once and a while. Pellets help fish obtain vitamins where as live foods might not have.
Fish tank talk and comments:
Your test shows nitrates which is great, also nitrites which means your cycle is not yet complete, just keep doing near daily water changes and I hop you have Prime water conditioner as that neutralizes ammonia and nitrites but only for 24 hours so it has to be dosed every 24 hours.
Hey would other water conditioners be used the same or is it only prime that should be added like that?
I do have Prime water conditioner. Yay! I did not know that it only lasts for 24 hours in neutralizing the ammonia and nitrites. I have been doing 25% for every 3-4 days, but I will increase the water changes. Thank you.
Fyi most other water conditioners do not nitrify ammonia, nitrites and nitrates like prime. Maybe one other brand but not one i know of personally. Maybe a brand popular in other areas of the world. They are mostly just dechlorinators. It would say it on the bottle. Also it is a full double dosing the volume of the tank that nitrifies 1 ppm of high parameters. The dosage can be given 4x the volume of the tank safely but water changes are important also. The parameters will go right back to where they were(high) with in 24-48 hrs.
Please, no negative comments. I’m already really upset. So almost four days ago I started treating my tank for fin rot. I noticed Beast had some ragged fins. So the day before yesterday I was woken up at 7 AM to my boyfriend telling me Beast got stuck behind a large ornament and really hurt himself (this has never happened before. I have large ornaments for my other fish to hide in). So now along with fin rot he has missing scales. I’m continuing to treat the tank until Friday (seven day treatment) and then doing a 10-15% water change on Saturday. You can see in the video where his fins are starting to repair themselves. This fish is trouper (he is five). If anyone has any friendly suggestions on how to better help Beast and make him well faster I would appreciate your input.
He will be OK, so long as you keep his water clean. Sounds like you are treated with medication and at 5 yrs old you’ve been doing something right. I would remove the ornament(s) as this will happen again. I had a beautiful tank long ago….plants, large driftwood, etc…. not anymore, haha! Just fish, sand and 2 fake plants. Ugh. Goldfish. So clumsy but so cute. Sorry that happened. But I’d finish the tail rot meds and evaluate to see if he needs anything else. I always use Melafix for injuries like this. It’s my go to.
I would try five minutes in an Epsom salt bath I cleaned out a 1 gallon ice cream pale really extra good and used one tablespoon of Epsom salt let it dissolve it doesn’t hurt the fish some people told me it’s good for the fish.
I know the sometimes fish will do this if theyre stressed or bored, I’ve seen my goldfish do this every once in a while too though and I have no idea why haha. Do you have an API master test kit, and exact water test parameters??? It could be an ammonia or nitrite or even nitrate issue, all 3 affect the gills., How long has the tank been set up and running?
That fish might just like to play in the bubbles, but since we cannot ask it, we need to rule out other possible reasons. How often and how much water do you change on a regular basis?
Do you mean the testing strips? I got those originally, but was told they are wildly inaccurate. I ran out the next day and got the master testing kit and man were they right, results were way off. Those suction ones started giving me incorrect reading after a while too, though they are good I think to warn you if you have a severe ammonia spike… but they’ve been yellow for me and I tested my ammonia and it was not 0!!
