So after the seven days we have waited longer on fish. Our pH is low so we added coral, but it still looks pretty low, should we add our new drift wood or not? :/ https://s5.postimg.org/vn10cfsnr/20160815_182146.jpg

Okay just wanted to make sure it wasn't mold or something lol. Thanks :)

So it's been a week today since the ick/fungus. Now there is fuzzy white areas on one of the drift wood. The other has green/white fuzz. Is this cause we don't have an algea eater or no fish in the tank? I had a pic but it won't upload for some odd reason. But shall keep trying.

Yeah we had taken water out when her last mean fish had died. We were down to just the two algea eaters. We had waited a week and a half before adding the new fish. As for good bacteria we do have a place in the filter where it grows, so I'm not sure if that helps any. I know it's patience to...

Okay, since it didn't reach 86F we took out about 80% of the water, ran all the fake plants, and drift wood in 90F+ water plus scrubbed what may have been on them. Now we are boiling the rocks in hopes to kill what is on them, then putting them back in the tank tomorrow. Will this work? Or are...

Okay I turned it all the way to its highest which is 89, but it may get to 86. At the start it was about 75F

Thanks for all your help! And I shall definitely do that :) How long will the heater take to heat up a 37 gallons tank to 86?

I used pliers to get the heater to 86, that was really stuck. So hopefully that will work better than bleaching everything..

I am unable to change the temperature of the tank. The dial is stuck..is there another way?

Okay, thanks again :)

Sorry it's 37 gallons. I did a 3rd water change today and might do another half after tomorrow to help get all the salt out. With the heat at 86, would it be okay to put the fish nets that we used in as well? Along with the scrubbing sponges? That way we don't accidently have this again, or is...

How big is the tank you have them all in? It could be there isn't enough room for the danios and could be killing off your fish to make room. But I can't really tell you.

Okay thanks! We are doing a 3rd water change tomorrow to get some of the salt out. I'll push up the heat then. Really hope that helps, thank you!

Update: We returned the fish and got our money back so they can treat them while we work on the tank. Since there are no fish in the tank and we did a 50% change of the water yesterday, and doing a 3rd of the water today. We bought two Pimafix solutions. One treats fungal infections and the...

Update: So we are returning the remainder of the fish back to the store. Getting rid of everything in the tank, but unsure how to disinfect the tank. Any ideas? We don't want this to happen to anymore fish...

No it was like water bubbles all over before it had died. Also had dried spots on its body. The platys seem to have dots on them that look like salt..and one looks slimy. https://s5.postimg.org/f7u2ys2xj/20160724_194329.jpg https://s5.postimg.org/98ax8v7iv/20160724_194410.jpg...

Update: Amonia: 0 Nitrate: 0 Total hardness: 75 Total chlorine: 0 Total Alkalinity: 20 pH: 6.8 We had lost an algea eater today, no slime just the same dots as in the pic above. Now we are getting slime and spots on the platys, we aren't sure on why. I'll have a pic of them up shortly. The...

Thank you

Welcome! New as well, and have always loved fresh water fish. Joined to learn more about them as there is so much knowledge. -Aroura

It all began three weeks ago after a mean fish had died. My mom cleaned her tank completely out to make sure the fish really had died of old age and let the tank settle for two weeks. On the third week we had gotten four mollies, five Platty, and four dwarf fish that have a hard name to spell...

Hello I am new to the forum. I have always grown up with fish, and quite enjoy them. I have a two year old daughter who loves to watch her grandma's fish swim while she eats at the table. I'm looking forward to learn more about fish, as I have mainly only done fresh water fish. My mom wasn't...
