Heres the breakdown... 55 gallon tank, 2 turtles (map, red ear), Red Devil Cichlid, Green Terror, Tiger Oscar, Electric Yellow cichlid, 3 other cichlids (?), 2 bala sharks, catfish (4in), black molly, 2 gauromi's, tiger barb, 2 albino catfish, crayfish, 3 pleco's, 2 1/2 inch shark (not sure) ... I had a 10 gallon and went 4 the upgrade to 55 and transfered most of my fish over, bought some more b/c there was so much space. Had some tragic losses KIA, brackfish, beta, 5 tetras (victims of the oscar), black molly, 2 plecos ... i roll with natures rule, Survival of the Fittest....
Problem... Ive had the 55 up and running for about 2 months now. Everyone was doing great untill I think the electric yellow cichlid (Kobe) came down with the ever dreaded ick about a 2 weeks ago. I bought some parasite clear and applied it after I did a 35% water change. 3 days ago I took drastic measures and did a 90% water change, applied PH balance, Ammonia clear and parasite clear (thankfully no1 died). Last night I noticed the Red Devil Cichlid (Colonel Ace) had brown stuff on his fins, not real sure what the deal is here. Kobe still has the white spots on him and I think the albino cats might be coming down with the ick 2.
I am new to the aquarium game, spin me up ladies and gents.
