Hi,
Please advise me what to do next.. I have a 50 l tank, it’s been set up with fish in 5-6 weeks.. 3 mollies and 6 platys.
Last week we noticed a male mollie had white spots and became so unwell it died, the others had white spots too and we got the treatment carried it out straight away as per the bottle, removed filter sponges for the duration and the full cycle ended yesterday. So I replaced filter sponges and noticed another mollie acting strange sitting near the top of the tank. Tested the water and it was full of nitrates and nitrites which I assume has happened due to no filter sponges in situ. Today things haven’t improved much and my mollie that was acting strange has developed the white spots. I was advised by the pet shop to only commence white spot treatment if water quality was optimum which is not the case. What do I do?
