Just and update.... I haven't yet put the table salt in as iv been out all day and iv just got back to cloudy and smelly water. Iv done some tests and everything seems ok :/ the fish are still eating ok at the moment. I'm worried I may lose some fish :(

Yeah sorry he was the odd one out he's the only other fish from a different region in there. Thank you so much for all your help I'm clear now on what I have to do. And yes it was a blue in colour type of formula I think it was interpets anti white spot treatment I will start the salt process today

That's a great help thank you. Should I leave my 120g zeo carb bags out the filter still? And can I start the process with the table salt even though Iv dosed once with treatment already? Also is it safe for my SA Cichlids to live in a temperature that high? Normally the tank is at 26 degrees. I...

Ok thank you, sorry for being vague I'm relatively inexperienced. My concern was wether the floating bits were ich related but by the sounds of it, it's not which is good. I have treated them with white spot treatment which was one dose today and 1 dose in 4 days. Is there anything else I can do...

It's only the first day I have noticed it so I will update in a day or 2. I have added a couple new fish recently...

I do have a sand substrate also FYI

This is the best photos I could get. It's the same size particles swimming in the water. The leopard bush fish is approx 3inches to give you an idea of size

Thanks for info, is there any chance then that my fish don't actually have white spot and it can be these particles in the water just getting stuck on the scales and fins? They are currently showing no signs of illness. They are eating,swimming fine and not going pale in colour

Thanks for your response, so would particles manage to get through all that filter media then? When you say hot water tank can I ask what you mean by that? Do you mean the heater? Also, is the order I have my filter media in the correct way? And do I need to keep the zeo carb in all the time...

hi all, I have a South American cichlid tank. Iv noticed I have white spot so I am currently treating that. Has anyone had the same thing with loads of tiny white particles going around in the water (not on the surface) is this something to do with whit spot or another problem? Iv never noticed...

Thank you very much for your advice much appreciated!

Hi, thanks for your response. It was just something I heard back along I wasn't sure how it would affect it either lol. Does it help with filtration and the quality of water if there's more oxygen in the tank? (From the airstone)

Ok great, I have a 4inch airstone and a small one so I decide and put one in. Would you say it needs to go away from the outlet pipe so it's not sucking the air up? Thanks for your response!

Hi, I'm running a fluval 306 external filter on a 240litre tank. I have some small SA cichlids in it , would you recommend an air stone and if so where's the best position for it?

I think this is a red head tapajos! Could someone please confirm though? (I got him off someone who didn't know what type of geo he was)
