Hey guys, so up until a couple days ago my Fahaka puffer was very happy. I had some extra Fritz Zyme Nitrifying Bacteria lying around, and since it is a newer tank I decided it couldn't hurt to add some to his tank to help the filter along...well, the next day I came home and found that one of his eyes was totally hazed over, and several of the Danios I had in with him had died (for no apparent reason).
Not sure why the bacteria would do this, but I flushed the tank anyway to ensure the water was perfect for him...well today when I came home, it's even worse. Both eyes are hazy and he appears to be having trouble breathing, fins are down and he just generally looks worn out. Plus, for the first time since I've owned him, I saw him swim to the top of the tank and stick his nose to the surface of the water. He usually never goes anywhere near the top.
Please help!
I followed the instructions on the bacteria bottle as closely as I could, and it says the doseage can safely be increased up to 10x, so I doubt I overdosed. Any ideas?
