Trolling the net to try and identify silver perch issue I am having. Had another death today and the perch had white cotton wool type fugus on it and the gills. I found this document form the NSW DPI which I think will be helpful for people. Not sure if it has been posted before. http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/209309/Silver-Perch-Diseases-Manual.pdf Water quality is fine for me: ph - 6.8ish amm - 0 rite - 0.25 - 0.5 rate - 40ish temp - 12 Next to no debris or uneaten food at the bottom of the tank. the water temp is a bit low, but hopefully will pick up again soon. they are all in aseparate tank, so if I lose another, i will isolate the tank, chuck in a few extra air stones and salt it to 7ppt for 2 days, then drain half and fill, which will get it to 3.5ppt, then drain 1/2 and fill again after 2 more days to get salt down to 1.5 ish. I will then connect back to the system and hopefully the diluted salt will not affect my strawbs! Hopefully no more deaths in the next few days! |
