I have a 46 gallon with a biowheel 350 and a Aquaclear 30. My tank inhabitants are 6 adult guppies, 4 juvenile guppies, about 60 fry, 3 bumblebee platys, 4 Cory cats and 2 African dwarf frogs. I added 2 of the cories and 3 of the platys a few days ago. I noticed yesterday one of my old cories hardcore flashing on rocks. He's eating off the bottom but giving a little flick towards his gills. This morning when I woke up I seen one of my adult guppies doing the same and one of my juvenile guppies doing it too. I came home from work today and it's still happening. I've looked at all my fish closely and there's no signs of Ich or spots or sores on any of them visible to my eye. I did do a 50% water change with a gravel vac yesterday as my nitrates were in the high 40s. My readings are (tested with API master kit) 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 20 nitrate. I treat my water with prime and the only thing I don't differently was added some melafix (waaaaay below the recommended dosage) and API stress coat. I was thinking of upping my temperature in case it was Ich. Unsure about adding aquarium salt due to compatability and if I do have to treat my tank who should I put in my 5 gallon? ( was thinking obviously my frogs). Also my biowheel has built in carbon so with meds how do I get it out?. Any help would be great.
