So I have a 38G tank with
3 pearl danios
4 Cory’s
1 blue gourami
4 platies
And previously 1 male guppy
Perimeters
Temp: 76 F
PH 7.6-7.8
Nitrates 20
Nitrite 0
Hardness 15
Alkalinitybetween 120-180
Ammonia.25
*these are my typical reading. The nitrate and ammonia are the same as from the tap (I have well water w/ no chemical filter)
2 HOB filters
-Penguin biowheel 200 (marine land)
-fuval aquaclear 70
* put in about 2 weeks ago planning on swapping the penguin for aqua clear
So about a month ago I woke up and noticed that my male guppy had last 60% of his color all over his whole body. I checked the water levels and they where as they are above. Surprisingly none of the other fish ever messed with him, he had his own corner of the tank and even the danios and gourami respected that. Then with in the next 2 weeks his tail started to shred and look super rough on the edges. I assumed it was fin rot and moved him to his 5 gallon rival spec hospital tank with air stone and heater. I treated him with Malfix and nothing. He has still not shown any improvement or decline. He has no white on the tips or red makes threw the tail or even swelling at the base of the tail.
Now I have a little yellow ram in my 38g tank that has a hole in his dorsal fin that’s about the size of half a pea now that started out the size of a pin head when I first saw it. It has fuzzy white edges and I can see the “Ray” part ( that runs between the soft tissue on fin) that is still in tact but everything else is gone. I treated the whole 38gal tank with jungle fungus clear tabs and over the past 4 days there was no improvement and almost looks like it’s getting worse.
I’m at a loss as of what to do, I love my fish and don’t want them to suffer. Can anyone give me advise?! Please I don’t want my fish to die.
