Hi,
Somebody please help me on treating the my fish. My molly just died. And about half of my fish are doing occasional flashes. I cannot see any white spots on any of my fish, and I have already raised my tank temperature to 88 or 89 degree F for about 10 days already. During this 10 days, I've done a couple of vacuum, and about 4 water changes (20% to 50%). Ammonia is currently close to zero.
I cannot tell whether they have ich or not. When my molly died, one side near her gill had an area of some white stuffs. It looked like fungus, but it's not like a cotton ball at all. It's more like a film.
I don't see any white spots on any of my fish. Yet they (platies and guppies) do flashes, rubbing against decoration or tube.
I have two tetras and 1 emerald cory catfish, and therefore, I have been hesitating to use any meds. But 10 days of high temperature have not helped. In fact, at least 3 more adult fish started to do flashes, and several baby fish started to do that as well. I started my temperature at about 85 on the first day, and raised up to 89 a few days later.
I don't want any more death. Could anyone help me out? I tried salt once, but because I don't know exactly how much I should add, I stopped.
Many Thanks,
Sean
