Seeking a bit of advice on how to proceed with fish tank...
Have an approximatley 200L litre fish tank has been established for past 5 months current stock levels were:
9 Corydoras
3 Dalmatian mollys
12 Neon Tetras
1 Siamese fighter (male)
5 Male guppies
7 Zebra Dianios
Added on Thursday
1 Sail fin Plec
4 Coolie loach
2 Dwarf Gouramis (1male,1 female)
Unfortunatley struggled a bit with getting fish into tank and some of the water from the store got into the tank
Everything seemed ok on Thursday night and Friday, but come Saturday morning found 1 of the coolie loach to be dead at the bottom of the tank with what looked to be cotton wool type fungus over his body also the male gourami on the floor gasping for air. Came back later in the day and found the dwarf gourami in same place gasping for air but also 1 of the corydoras was laying on its side and looked like skin had gone a bluish colour, the Siamese fighter looked like some of his scales had gone white on top of his body and his back fin looked like it had also gone white.
Last night i added some fungus/fin rot medication to the tank with some aquarium salt
Come this morning found 2 more dead corydoras the gourmie had died and alot of the corydoras seem to have developed this fungus.
I have carried out the API water tests for Ammonia, nitrite, PH, Nitrate tests come back fine.
Can anyone shed some light on this and offer advise on how to cure the sick fish and prevent this spreading through tank any further.
