I have attached a photo of what can really only be described as an open wound/sore on one of my gold barbs. Another one has a kind of whitish patch where this ones sore is. They are the only 2 of the 6 barbs to have this affliction. Also none of the other fish seemed to be affected and the 2...

In my 36 gallon tank I have an HOB MarineLand Penguin 200B filter with a biowheel. This specific filter is rated for 50 gallons. I have noticed that after going a while without changing the filter cartridge the wheel stops spinning. Im assuming this is because the build up of bacteria within...
