Hi guys & girls I have 3 tanks set up one is a community tank that is 4ft, one has tiger barbs, danios and a pair of kribensis in and one is a small 25litre tank that has shrimp and baby red coral platies in.
The fish in the community tank have all been flashing now for a couple of months but showing no other signs of White spot and the tiger barbs have been flashing for nearly the same amount of time. And now my baby platies are flashing too!!!!
I have treated my community tank for White spot twice now over the past couple of months as the treatment I have says it kills White spot and other parasites but they are still flashing and I dont know what to do :-(
I haven't lost any fish for months so it's not killing them, or at least not quickly!
Water perimeters are fine in all tanks with readings of (or close to) 0ppm for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite and all tanks have a PH of 8.0 which I know is a little high but thats what the tap water here is.
Tests were done using the api liquid test kit
Any help much appreciated
