Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Tank 55g 6 plants and small medium gravel.
12 silver tipped tetra. (3/4 in)
6 Clown Loache (dead now)
5 Small Bala sharks (small 2in dead now also)
1 Pleco
1 Siamese Fighter
Filter Eheim 2128 Pro2 Thermo.
Readings Well within parameters
Nitrate 10ppm
Nitrites 10ppm
Amonia 10ppm
Ph 6.5 to 7ppm
Maintenance change 5 gal on wednesdays and 10 gal on saturdays. Use stress coat to remove chlorine.
I noticed 1 bala with white spot so I removed the carbon pad from filter, I did not clean the filter because it was fine.
I had ich before so I keep waterlife protasoan med (i think thats the name sorry I'm in work now), it worked before.
I raised the temp to 25c and I treated with 50%(as recommended for clown loache) of dosage for 3 days and then waited until day 6 for final doseage.
Boom white spot everywhere on day 2 of treatment I cant believe how fast it happened. 6 hrs after that Loaches and ballas were all more or less dead.
1 Tetra is showing 2 small dots but my pleco and siamese looks fine.
My quarantine tank was smashed by an idiot (leave it at that).
Should I continue with treatment?
Also if anyone could help I was advised to not use salt because pleco's are at risk?
I have also seen online here that you can just raise the temp to 30c but will this not kill the fish?
I am so gutted right now I feel like Michael Douglas in falling down. Can't believe my "fatboy" loache is gone. I think I will remember picking him out of the tank for a long time.
My temp is at 25 c still but no further spreading with the other tetras or siamese. Are they carriers as expressed by some people?
I am getting a new 96L quarantine tank at the weekend, should I invest in a UV Steriliser?
I have a 40L plastic container should I put the Tetra showing whitespot into it with a heater and filter. I could mix some of my filter media from the main tank to seed the filter.
I also have cloudy water for 2 days now. Its not a bio boom theres no slick on the surface and the parameters seem fine.
What did I do wrong?
Damn theres no guns in Ireland!!!!!!!!!
