Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

we have one Blue Tilapia (adult) male which was left alone in the pond while we attended some conference. After we came back from the conference, I found out that he had ulcer on the side and he scratched himself. Tilapia doesn't do well with Cold water and the weather dropped down below 28 degrees for about three days whle we were gone.

We medicated him three times 1. Ick medication 2.General parasites 3. General sickness.

he has been treated six times total and also gave him in a salt bath (2-3 table spoon per gallon). He seems to get red on the side (Pectoral gills)

I thought he was getting better but I just saw him scratching his body.

The templerature is 88 and the Ammonia is zero. - I just measured it..

I thought it was ick medication in the beginning but I am not sure why he is still feeling weak and sacraching himself. Do you have any suggestions?'
