Hi all
Sorry first post is a asking for help one.
I have a 125litre tank current water stats are PH 6.4 (a tad low than it has been),Ammonia 0.5-1.0 (used ammo lock to detoxify this yesterday), Nitrite 0 and Nitrates 40.
Temp is 25-26 degrees c.
Pump is a juwel bioflow 600 (600/l per hour)
Water usually changes every 2-3 weeks (25-30%)
Food is hikari sinking pellets and tropical flakes
No new ornaments etc recently.
I have a mixture of fish currently have 1 cory catfish (see pics / not well), 3 dwarf gourami, 8 guppies, 2 swordtails, 3 platy and 3 plecs (2 baby and 1 adult 3.5" long).
I had camallanus worms (discovered in the guppies) which i have treated with levasimole 7% (bird wormer as can't find it anywhere else). I treated with 10ml of the wormer and have done a 50% water change (after waiting 3 days) and vac'd tank. Strangeley the guppies are all doing well. To treat properly I ripped out all of the existing plants as they were riddled with hair algae and were stopping me getting to vac the gravel.
This being said I have lost 6 fish some of which we have had for some time (mixture of 1 baby plec today, 4 cory, 1 guppy and all our neons.
I have tried everything I can think of to stop them dieing but I am at a loss. I've attached some pics of the catfish I have left (which looks the worst) plus some pics of the tank and the dwarf gouramis left.
Can anyone offer any help / advice?
Many thanks
Allan
