I got up about 3 days ago to find the clown loach had white spot. Now past dealings with white spot using medicine has resulted in dead loaches :s So I went for the all natural heat method Got it to dead on 30c/86f. (an all ready salted tank)
All was fine for first 36 hours Then I woke up to find 4 or 5 dead harlequin rasboras. So I turned the heater down but before the temperature even dropped a degree the rest had died withing 2-3 hours apart from one (feel reall sorry for him as he is last of a school of 15)
Turned the heater back up to 30c anyway and the white spots are almost off the clown loach. So I presume it is going into trophont stage and hopefully at this temperature it will be the last I see of this.
So looking for the silver lining I have decided maybe to try another type of schooling fish.The rasboras were highly active and top dwellers occasionally liking the middle. What other options have I got? I have read many things about danios, but I read they like cooler temperatures of 22-26c well I keep my tank at 27-28.
I have neons mollies guppies 2 Red Dwarf Gouramis an angel frog Red Clawed crab 2 yo yo loaches 2 clown loaches and 2 Bristle plecs. (the angel is a wimp before anyone goes guppies tetras and an angel?lol he swims away from live bloodworm lol)
Suggestions welcome then top dwelling schooling fish that are highly active and have some colour apart from silver please
