Hi, I’m new to the forum and I’m hoping someone can help.
I set up a 20gallon tank in October and have put two black moors in. Both seemed very happy and healthy until recently. I was away over Christmas and when I returned I noticed the tank was a lot dirtier than expected. There was an awful lot of algae considering I’d only been away for a few days and had done a 70% water change before I left. I’ve since cleaned the tank, done a 75-80% water change and bought a new slightly bigger filter which is in cycling currently alongside the old filter. One of my moors seems happy and healthy as normal, but the other has developed some silvery white film over parts of his body. He’s also a little sluggish in comparison to the other. When changing water, I use aquarium salts, Bioactive tapsafe, Prevent Algae solution and Healthy Goldfish Treatment Solution. Can anyone please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong or if there’s anything I can do to help my moor?
