Just for a share.

I have a serpae tetra with a white spot on the side, possibly a bit of fungus on a damaged scale - hard to say for sure.

Anyways dosed a full dose of Pimafix. The Pimafix must of hit the co2 reactor a few seconds later while I was looking down to switch on canister filters as I look back up and around the reactor were thousands of small bubbles floating up. At surface this was foaming up and spreading out from the tank.....

All I did was hop madly from one foot to the other with one hand on the co2 valve while waiting to see which won out. Of course i should have turned that off straight away but the valve is so sensitive it takes ages to get it where I want it. Sure there is a lesson there!

5 minutes later it was all back to near normal as the canister output cleared the bubbles / foam off surface and everything settled down.

This morning the tetras looked ok but have to have a good look tonight.

It's the exciting moments of fish keeping panic I live for....
 
Hard to tell as just before feeding time but can't see any white spots.

I've no idea why I bought serpae tetras now, they are so hard trying to count with the rosy barbs. The black mollies stand out so I can track them as I'm counting much easier.
