PH

Also, if he's sick, or was in June, what were the symptoms? Many things can cause illness. What makes you think it's just the pH? Could be infection (fungus, bacteria, viral) among many other things. Any growths, lesions, behavior changes? Is he alone in the tank? What size tank?

Someone told me it's might ph caused he was sick after a month or month and half we adopted him and he got sick now even more from February he has hole in the head maybe from carbon I didt know I only took it out two weeks ago he has cloudy dots in both eyes he is sluggish got darker has something on his tail and when he eats something definitely hurts him so he eats much less we did ichX no fungus fursn 2 and Kanaplex no results
And same we feeding him Metroplex too much meds did Epson salt table salt we try a lot for this time he is sick like 2 month already and he is breathing heavily

He is alone in 40 gallon has aquneon filters not good but he already has 55 gallon and aquaclear filters we was gonna transfer him in April but now he is so sick won't handle it
Please help
 
HLLE disease is tough. It is not known what causes it. In marine fish there's anecdotal evidence removing carbon helps, but I would avoid using too many medications. Try one thing at a time. The best thing you can do is reduce the stress, as that might make it worse. Are you currently running any medication on the tank right now?
 
Morning Thank you for answering
Yes we did metroplex than ichX today 4th day and last day of FURAN-2 and Kanaplex and feeding him Metroplex
I know you right absolutely but he is sick from February maybe even from January I don't live with him he lives with my mom I saw tiny wound back in December but I thought it's from that he bum bam sometime he got spooky and smashing by the glass and objects I love him don't wanna lose him he is very important for me that's why we already tried ichX Furan-2 Kanaplex Epson salt and table salt it's a lot but I don't wanna and can't don't nothing :(
 
Sure thing - just keep in mind all of these different medicines can be hard on the fish as some are very strong, and so I would do as few at the same time as possible. I would probably eliminate the salt - the evidence for it helping with much beyond minor healing is pretty thin. If I were to do anything, I would treat with Metroplex only for now as some believe Hexamita is the cause in freshwater. Follow the directions on the box, and before you treat, do a large water change. Right now you want to keep nitrates as low as possible to minimize his stress. If you have a hospital tank, that's preferable so that it doesn't mess up the biological filter. If not, keep his aquarium aerated, continue to monitor nitrates and ammonia, and feed a mix of high quality foods while continuing to change the water whenever nitrates get above 10ppm. Nitrates aren't necessarily a death sentence in freshwater, but the less pollution in the tank while you treat, the better.

Now yes will do only metroplex andwater changes we do every day right now 75 present

It's only him and nitrate is even 0 right now because everyday changes I HAVE IMPORTANT QUESTION RIGHT NOW WE USING METROPLEX WHICH BEEN OPENED BACK IN JUNE CAN ITS STILL BE EFFECTIVE?

Check the box. Does it have a best by day?
 
Gotcha. Hopefully he pulls through. If he's very sick it may take him a long time to act normal again.

Yes but today I will do 75 percent water change and do only metroplex I'm very worrying about him his eyes has those cloudy dots,that stuff on his tail, something hurts him when he eats, hole in the head, breathing heavily and don't swim and sluggish :( we did our best I don't know why he got sick
