Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey everyone,
So I've had a 55 gallon tank up for over a year now with a pair of jacks in it. They were doing well until I lost one from what appeared to be a bacterial infection. He had white stuff coming out of his gills, and stopped eating.
So I took the other jack back to the lfs and decided to get a bunch or community fish. Endedup with some cory cats, guppys, neons. I floated the bag for 30-40 min, and added the fish. Within hours a few were coated with a thin white film. And by the next morning all were dead! So a few days later I ended up trying a few goldfish thinking they were hearty. I just bought a few fancy tails. They were floated for half hour and I poured some tank water into the.bag. after putting them in the tank i already have one dead, and the others are developing that white coating.
I'm feeling lik I may need to take the whole thing down, clean it, and cycle again. I'd like to avoid that, but it just seems everything I add suffered the same fate. Any help would be great, thanks!
