Sorry for the delayed response, here is the update: As of today I did 50% WC on Friday, Sunday, and will again tomorrow. Out of the 2 arow's atleast 1 of the eyes seems to be slightly improving but no sign in his other eye or the other arow's eyes.

I'm using API stress coat on that water and all my ammonia is back at 0. I'll be doing another water test tonight to see where we wound up at.

The two with the issues still aren't eating but I assume it would have to do with whatever they're fighting off. They seem to be passing bowel movements fine so thats positive at least.

Since it sounds like a few of you have been through this previously, how long should I keep going with this WC cycle before I ramp up the treatment?

Thanks

Since they're not eating, there'll be less waste, so water quality will sustain longer. I would cut down to 50% every 3 days, and only up it again if ammonia starts showing up.

I would give it 2 more weeks before going back to meds but only if conditions worsen
