Aquarium Advice Newbie
hi there i need help ive just got 4 cherry barbs they where ok but now they look like they covered un tiny white bubbles or something , ive been on site all morn as im not that good with pcs and couldnt find where to post a question im new to keeping fish but ive done all right things to set up tank, i went to local aquatic shop and got advice got water tested after 7 days an everything all fish ok till yesterday when they became erratic and swimming near surface and darting about got two plants but i may have overfed them and ruined ph .I probably did wrong last night when i took out 2 litres of water and putin 2 of tap water as i read that water was full of toxins,its only a 12litre tank ,too small i know but want to get bigger one ,just had this new tank for years and decided to have some fish so should have researched before i got fish ,but didnt realize it was not that easy.Im wanting now to do everything right as want poor fish to survive my idiocy.im hoping i can film the tank and fish so you can see and help me but thats complicated for being not that ok with my pc.well i hope someone can help as the shop i went is far away and i got conflicting advice on feeding man said 1 flake of Tetramin each every two or three days but flakes all diff sizes.Could it be the plants or fin rot ?when i got them i thought they looked ok but i looked at them today with a magnifying glass and thats when i could see the tiny white bubbles? or what ?please help .should i start again or what can i do ?Robbie
