Guys I am having a problem and need some help.
I've lost 3 fish recently after buying a trade in fish from the local fish store. I should have never bought him but did he didn't last a full day started to float and then died. was clearly ruff.
next fish was a rafael cat I have had for years, got sort of a white ting to him and one of his fins bones had become exposed. died friday.
next fish was a small flag tail maybe 3 inches had 6-7 ich like spots on him, was fine last night was swimming this morning and was dead by lunch.
ive added salt and brought the temp up, I also got some ich attack and pimaflix, I was using the pimaflix becuase my red tail giant gourami had a whiteish tuft on her tail just a circle about 2 milimeters I am 4 days into that treatment.
This is a well established tank 55 gallons with a few year old magnum 250 and now a 24hour old aquaclear 110 with extra sponges from my aquaclear 20.
Occasionally the fish are up by the surface or almost laying down but for the most part have seemed fine except for rubbing several times an hour(everyone but my endli). then they just drop dead.
I had my water tested after the first one, got a reading of 70ppm nitrate and nothing else. I've done a 25% water change I also have suspended feeding.
residents are 9-10inch blood parrot 6-7inch red tail GG. 4 inch endli 2 4 inch tin foil barbs and 2 featherfin cats one 3 inches one about 5. Any idea's ?
