Hey Guys,
I have some very sick fish!!! My tank parameters are all out of whack. the ammonia is at 0 but the Nitrites are off the chart (dark purple) and the nitrates are around 10 (orange).
Hence, my tank is cycling...Here's the problem...Some of my guppies have white stuff (and I use the term losely because honestly, I'm not sure what it is) on them. I treated the tank for ick with ick cure. It didn't really help. (It's only been two days though) The stuff doesn't really look like ick though. It's almost a whitish gray and only on three fish. One fish's tail is a little frayed.
What do you think it is? Should I use some form of bacterial medicine or keep up the ick cure? Should I do a water change?
I have 4 tetras, 12 guppies, and a pleco in a 55 gal tank. It's been up and running for several weeks but I just added 5 female guppies last week to total 12...
Any help would be appreciated!!!
