I apologize for this being so long but I have a problem with my tank and I can't seem to identify it. I had ick but treated my tank with heat and air stones and it seems to be gone.
Now all of my fish have something coming up on their eyes. One looks like popeye but the rest of my fish have something else. The best way I can describe it would be a clear cone shape over the whole eye that is cloudy at the tip.
I also have little white worms in my substrate that I can't get rid of. They don't seem to be doing anything to the fish. When I clean my tank I notice they land on the fish but then fall off after a little while.
Also my tetras keep losing all of their color and start having what looks like shimmy.
When I take them out of the tank and put them in QT everything seems to go away. When I put them back in the tank it all comes back in a few days, so I know it has something to do with my water. I have checked my water conditions and everything reads fine, water temp is about 82. I'm in process of moving everything over to QT. I'm thinking about just starting my tank over completely. Would that be my best option since I can't figure this out? I'm just so frustrated at this point I want to give up.
