Hello all.
I've been running my tropical fish tank since Christmas. No problems, until a week ago. I introduced a modest shoal of 6 Cardinal Tetras. Within a few days one disapeared, vanished! The others started to develop these white spots, I paniced, turned the temp to 30C, treated them with meds and removed my snails. The spots spread, claiming 4 of my 6 Cardinal Tetras, one remains, one is still missing. Further to this, my 6 Rummy Nose Tetras started to become infected, 3 of their lives have been claimed. My worst fear is that my Celestial Pearl Danios will face the wrath of this hideous plague. At the moment they show no sign of weakness, if anything, they seem stronger than ever. The snails I removed have died. They couldn't take it. Some baby snails I missed are still in with the infected. I hear the meds will kill them, but they're growing on the toxins. Are they mutating?
Can anyone tell me if this disease is limited to tetras? I don't want my spritely Danios to fall, my heart will break. I also have danio size brown fish with bright blue eyes. I forget their name. They seem fine... Although two are missing. ****.
Will I lose everything? What can I do to put an end to this plague? Someone help. Please.
