Hi guys. I'm having troubles with fin rot. I would say 30% of the fishes have it but they seem ok, swimming and eating as per usual. Some of their fins are just missing and some has part of it missing with the edge being white.
135lt fish tank
1 x peppermint brittlenose (4cm)
3 x kuhli loaches (4cm)
2 x platis
6 x male endlers guppy
17 x neon
1 x algae eater
4 x bumblebee gobby
+ 25 platis/guppy fries
Lots of plants
Ph 7.2 / Ammonia 0ppm / Nitrite 0ppm / Nitrate 0ppm / 24.5-26º
27lt water replacement twice a week
I got this fish tank 3 months ago. I had some guppy and platis couples but got annoyed with the high number of fries so I took back to the shop all the females. I just could get the Nitrite to 0 ten days ago when I replaced the pump from 1000l/h to 2000l/h. The tank has those filters on the top that goes across. With the new pump I could spread the water better over the media which helped with the nitrite. So my problem is many of my fishes have fin rot. Around 1.5 month ago I tried to cure them with melafix and pimafix and multicure but no positive results because in my opinion due the nitrite(0.25ppm sometimes 0.5ppm) and ammonia (0.25ppm). So the water has been fine for over 10 days, everything at 0ppm but the fishes still have fin rot. I added yesterday the 1/2 of the dosage(due to the loaches and others) of multi cure again with one tablespoon of aquarium salt. What should I do next?
Thanks in advance
