Over the last few weeks me and a friend have been getting massive amounts of pond fish. Mostly bass and bluegills. Few cats and bowfins.
The cats and bowfins we have had no issues at all. My tanks are well established and have had other fish in them for a very long time with no issues ever for the tanks.
The bass and bluegills are being a bit of an issue. We are loosing about 98% of them. Within 24 hours they will get a white cotton growth on them or like just balls of hard white mass on their body and fins. Is keeping these fish just impossible in a home aquarium? The tanks are 125g and 300g. Most of the fish have been in the 1-4 inch range. We got about 50 baby bluegills today in a trap and about all of them are covered in the white cotton. All are less than 3/4 inch.
