Hello! I am brand new here and just got into the hobby 2 months ago when I decided to put an aquarium in my dog grooming business. I did lots of research before setting the tank up, but as you know it's all a lot to learn. Today I noticed that one of my Rosy Barbs has something significant going on with her mouth. She does not look well and is not eating. Upon further inspection I noticed some super small white spots on my male rosy barbs.
I uploaded my most recent water test results (today). I also included a photo of the meds I have on hand. I do not have a quarantine tank yet but am willing to set one up ASAP however I am afraid my whole tank needs treatment now.
I couldn't get a great photo. I do have video on YouTube but am unable to post the link as I am a new member. My YouTube handle is @RaeLeaHolmes. I only have one video (Rosy Barb Mouth Issue) which is the video pertaining to this issue.
75 Gallons with one FX6.
Temp: 76-78f
6 Rosy Barbs (2 male, 4 female)
1 EBA
2 Ottos ( 2 mysteriously died. One the day after purchase, the other 3 weeks later.)
4 Corycats
2 clown plecos
6 Rainbow fish ( Just added 4 days ago. No I did not quarantine )
2 Assassin snails.
I have several plants but I care more for my fish's health than the plants so am willing to replace plants if any needed treatment kills them.
I posted this on several FB groups and didn't receive any helpful advice. I really love these fish and want to do whatever I can to keep them healthy. I am extremely grateful for any advice!
