What is your picture of by the way, I can't quite make it out? :D

No - thank god, I think I'd puke if they were!! Looks scary from the pics I've seen. So it might not be dropsy?? Awesome! I've been convincing myself it was, and bid on eBay for some Interpet anti internal bacteria treatment for dropsy, gillrot, ulcers and septacemia :P ! I've treated the tank...

This article is great too: Dropsy . I don't want her to die, I'm really gutted! I'd like to keep her in her usual tank rather than move her about really, but if moving her is best I will.

Haha, I was starting to think I was sad giving mine all names, glad I'm not the only one :D Hmm, it was sort of transparent and white - I have just looked into internal parasites online, do you think it is dropsy? I used to think swimbladder and dropsy was the same thing when I worked at my...

Sorry, got all confused - Nitrate was 15, the ammona and nitrite were perfecto! Will do =) I saw Fatty do a weird, stringy poo! Do you have names for any of your epic quantities of fish? =D

The ammonia and Nitrite were spot on; 0 and 0.1, the Nitrite was about half way between 10 and 20, so 15. I gave her 2 peas every day for 3 days - difficult to see if she's poo'd cos she is at the bottom of the tank a lot of the time. I'm going to read up a bit more on swimbladder in a mo to...

Right, water tests turned out to be perfect - ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, possibly due to the 4 days solid of water changes and salt additions. I have left them for a day and a bit without a water change. Fed Fatty 6 peas so far, not seen her poo, she is swimming more but still living at the...

Will do, glad I double-checked

Sorry, just to clarify. I'm not going to use whitespot treatment because the tank is still cycling, so I'm using salt instead. Do I do the 81 teaspoons for the 27 gallons of my fish tank every day after every water changer? (as I am supposed to do daily water changes to sort out the ammonia...

Thanks, I'll try that! :D

Ah, I thought dechloriantor was a chemical I shouldn't use at the moment with the whitespot, will use that tonight. Awesome, thanks for the advice - particularly telling me I don't have to use boiled tap water - that was getting REALLY annoying!! They've all survived my 27gal tank for almost...

I took my cow mug and cow ornament out of the tank too just in case their varnish is toxic! I never thought of that before!

I couldn't sleep and spent a couple of hours thoroughly reading all the threads most useful to my problems and more, and have just spent an hour and a half sorting out both of my tanks - the 27 gallon problem tank being my priority. I did a 50% water change using only boiled water and cold tap...

I have spent a LONG time reading this fantastic website, and I'm going to start with daily water changes and whitespot treatment because I've just found out what I thought was damage on Lil's dorsal fin and gill is definitely white spot. I wish I had a quarantine tank right now! It all gets...
