Just want some help determining what this actually is. It starts at their lips and spreads rapidly, within hours, across the head and eyes, leading to death within 24 hours. It is contagious, a guppy with no symptoms bought from a different store two weeks before now shows symptoms. Only symptoms are on the lips and head.
These are plan fancy guppy females, so far the males have not shown symptoms. Neons are no affected and haven't shown symptoms thru many guppy deaths
10 gal tank, 2 years old
Ammonia & nitrites 0, nitrates 50ppm ph 7.2-7.6 all stable for a long time
Cascade medium canister (the one with 2 baskets)
20-25% water change weekly vacuuming what I can around plants.
Nothing new in the tank, besides the guppies. I've seen this before in guppies but haven't figured out what it is or how to treat it.
They get flake food, and live baby brine shrimp
Any ideas? Treatments? I have tried mecalite green and salt dips, tank is salted with pimifix, not slowing it down.
