1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.).
I have a female guppy that sinks to the bottom and sometimes falling over on her side and breathing heavily
2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values.
I dont have my own test kit, but i took a sample to the pet shop last saturday after one of my male guppies died and everything was fine except my water was too "soft", it was around 4. the man gave me 2 different kinds of salts, Aquarium salt and one called "GH-salt" to increase mineral levels.
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up?
its a 40 liter tank
4~What type of filtration are you using? Please give the name and number (i.e. Fluval 304) and amount of gph if known.
i use an Eheim aquaball 2208 Pump output: 56-172 gph
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes?
I have one 2 inch goldfish, 2 neon tetras, one algea eating black fish thing lol (i havent found out what type of species in google yet) and 4 guppies, one male 3 females
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? How often do you do this? How much water do you remove at a time?
I changed the water 25% this wednesday, 4 days ago, after i spilled too much flake food in the tank, but i do 25% every sunday. And i use a vacuum gravel yes, but i can only vacumm like 25% of the gravel areas until the 10 liter bucket gets full.
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them?
Ive had the fish for 3 months.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? Nothing, just the salts, and i followed the instructions carefully
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? I feed them mostly flakes, but i give them frozen fish food once or twice a week
