Lost another gachua to fungal infection. Water is good, temp is at 75-80. Lost about 3 in the past 4 months due to white fungus and fin rot......
 
i think Timmy uses artificial plants.

what was in the tank before the gachua? can you post some pics of what it looks like?

I belive they are mainland gachuas. Temp around 79 it is about 80 F here daily.....
 
Any chance you could step up your WC schedule??
I think that that might be a significant cause for your problems.

I change the water in my tanks daily..well i only have 4 so not that big a deal.

i think daily water changes for channa might be a bit excessive. from my experience these fish don't require pristine water. in fact they don't seem to like big changes at all.
 
absolutly agree , the top breeders are doing around 3-4 water changes a year !! channa prefer aged water , they do not like fresh water ,in fact many struggle with large water changes ,some are ok with them but the majority are much happier with aged water , its best to keep nitrate down via live plants , obviously with big micros ect this may not be an option .

lets get the pics up some we can see what we are dealing with
