Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi, I have a harlequin rasbora that has a few white areas on its body. At first I thought that it was maybe a bite or some other scrape, but it has been 2 weeks and it hasn't cleared up. I haven't really treated except to add a little extra salt.
During this time, 2 of my other fish died (1 cardinal and 1 rummy nose) overnight (on different days but only 1-2 days apart). They didn't look at all sick, but I just found them dead the next morning. I have not changed my feeding at all except to try cucumber (right before the first of the 2 fish died).
I don't really want to treat my tank if the problem doesn't need medicines. However, the fish does look poor and I haven't seen it eating. Can anyone maybe help with a diagnosis and/or treatment plan? Unfortunately, I don't have a quarantine tank to be able to separate him out of the community
Thanks!
