Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all,
I am very new to fishkeeping and am off to a bumpy start.
About 4 weeks ago we purchased a Fluval flex 9 gallon tank for my 2 year old. The plan was to have a guppy only tank but after speaking with a few fish enthusiasts we decided to have 6 male guppies and 2 pepper corydora's.
Here is what we have done so far:
Week one (no fish):
Cycle water using the fallowing products
Nutrafin - cycle ( 3 day treatment)
Nutrafin - waste control (1 treatment)
Nutrafin - aqua plus (1 treatment)
Week two
Added 6 male guppies and 2 pepper corydora's
Added a heater to keep water at 78°F
Week three
Changed 25% of the water with new water.
Added nutrafin - Aqua plus to condition new water only.
We are now week four and I have noticed that my pepper corydora's have developed what I think may be ick (see attached photo) as I can see little white granular spots on both of the fish. I think one of my guppies might be affected also but it is hard to tell.
Can I please ask for a confirmation and some advice from my community members?
Thanks in advance,
