Okay, so I was looking for tank mates for my angels and cory cats in a 60 gallon. Added 12 black skirt tetras yesterday and after adding then noticed one little silver-white spot on one of the tetras. Today there are multiple spots on more than one
The worst part is that I have a 10 g quarantine that I was going to use to grow out 10 neon tetras I bought at the same time as the tetras. After adding the black skirts to my main tank, I thought that would have been a better idea to add them all to the 10g. Duh.
I just ordered Seachem paraguard (malachite-green-based) that is being delivered on Tuesday.
Questions:
1. I'm assuming the whole tank is infected and I should treat both the 60g and 10g tanks? (Although no signs on the neons, but they came from the same store). Or if you think the angels and cories might not get it I could moves the blackskirts to the 10g.
2. I have about 6 nerite snails. Should I move them to a bucket and throw some algae in? Or should I treat them also?
3. Unfortunately I'm going out of town Friday (back on Sunday night). If I start treatment Tuesday, and go 4 days is that long enough? I have a house sitter coming over to feed the fish and dogs during the weekend and I could ask her to dose once Saturday if needed.
Current tank temp is 77f for both.
Any other suggestions from someone's who had been through this would be amazing.
Thank you!
