Hello All, I am looking for some help with my tank. It seems that most of my fish are dying. I notice first, that the fins are disappearing, then they go belly up. Even fish that I have had for a few months die. Is there any way to test the water to find out what is wrong? Or is there a...

I just noticed that my 2 glass fish have white spots on their fin tips. I don't believe that it is Ick. My "Fish Health" book says it is Lymphocystis. It says to isolate the fish and give antibiotics. My question is: What antibiotics can I use and can I treat the whole tank (30 Gallons) or do I...
