yes, I placed him in the hospital tank that I set up yesterday, tank parameters matched that of the pond water for temp, Ph, ammonia, and nitrite. Did not test nitrate yet. The only fall back is the tank has not had enough time to build up an good bacteria. I had some quilt batting that i had added to the bio-falls for additional filtration, should I take some of this to jump start the bacteria in the HT tank? Should I let the fish get over the shock of being moved or start adding salt to achieve .1% concentration immediatly? Does anyone know of a good sight to help me identify the ailment. It looks to me like he is the result of getting picked on. His tail fin is a bit chewed up and on top by his dorsal fin is pail-white and maybe missing scales (he is orange and black). I really can't see any cottony type substance on him nor any small white spots like ich.
