I have been keeping fish for just under a year and have been doing fairly well so far. I started with a 15 but tore that down and moved all fish into a 29 long back in October. It hasn't been quite as easy as I hoped.
Tank Specs: 29 Gallon Long
Amm=0
Nit=0
Nat=5-10
PH=7.5-7.8
50% weekly PWC
10 Neon Tetra
6 Rummynose Tetra
4 Panda Corydoras
1 Appistogramma Cacautoids
2 Mystery Snails
Moderately Planted
Here are my problems:
#1: Ich
My fish have had ich for nearly a whole month now. I've raised the temperature to about 88 and there's about 8 tablespoons of API aquarium salt in there. There hasn't been a vast improvement and I've lost some fish because of it. I Vaccume the gravel every WC. I really don't know what to do but I have to get of this thing.
#2: Dropsy
Just today I noticed one the neon tetras has what I'm pretty sure is dropsy. He is quite bloated and I think has slight pineconing near the bottom of his body. I don't know how I can help him. He is also breathing at much quicker rate. Sorry the sucky pic but its the best I can do right now.
#3: ???
Another one of my neon tetra has an alarmingly sunken belly and some sort of growth on the side of his mouth. I don't know what it is but I'm thinking bacterial. How should I act?
I would really appreciate and really need some help.
