I have had something in my tank attacking my fish. Ick (white spot) I have treated many times with salt, noxick aquarisol, and bumping the temp. I have great success doing that.
I feel I have something different on my hands unfortunatly. I have had two tanks infected and now have lost mutiple fish. I have a 75 cured, I had to scrub out all gravel tank decor everything. Emptied the tank after I lost to many fish. I refilled and used instant cycle to reintroduce good bacteria and lifebearer and I have noticed a significant jump in health. I lost all my clown loaches 7 one by one and that was it. Kissing gourami was on its way out but some how recovered. Ebjd to my suprise had no symptoms of ever being sick! Polypterus lived never looked sick, water quality was always fine no ammonia spike, it must have been something else. Some fish had white spot, but 5 of 7 clowns never got white spots. and still died.(all died breathing rather hard, and some even after a waterchange.)
To the 29 gallon. I have plants in here and I feel I am unable to do the same complete overhaul.
I have lost a aussie rainbow, tetras, zebra(yellow stripe loach.)
I fear this tank is going way down hill, because alot of the fish are obviously little, and can't fight off whatever has taken over the tank. Fire eel died after a waterchange just like what happened in the fixed 75. Currently doing ick treatments with no signs of improvement. Any help, also the glow fish danios have no symptoms of being sick. wierd huh? It is attacking scaleless fish besides one rainbow..
I am out of ideas other than to lightly bleach plants, and empty the tank and poor boiling water over the substrate, and then use instant cycle. Or do I have another option, again water quality is fine, and has been fine. I don't know what is killing all my scaleless fish, and I do have one left, a synodonis, and I would really like not to lose him.
Sorry this is so long, I can normally figure this stuff out, but I am running out of options and my death tool keeps rising.
7 clowns
1 fire eel
2 tetras
1 zebra loach
1 aussie rainbow
Any advise? Thanks in advance guys. I was wondering if I contrated a new form of ick. All started from a possible sickly oddball clown loach introduced 3 weeks earlier..most likely. All fingers are pointing to him.
But I won't know, need a microscope I guess.
