Other fish in the tank looking healthy.

@GaryE Please see photo of the larger guppy in my tank now with this showing…. Must be velvet? Other fish species still ok and male guppies still ok. Good new one of the smaller female guppies looks much better now!

@GaryE I'll provide updates for the next week or two now. Thank you so much for your help! I'm fully committed to saving these fish, so if the lights are off and towels over the tank then so be it. Also to the other users who have helped me, thank you so much! I want to ensure moving forward I...

@GaryE thank you for this valuable advice. I have to try it being velvet at this stage… as I can’t see white spot acting like that… -I’ve turned the lights off in the afternoon now. However having them off all day, will this not affect all my plants? I guess it’s plants vs fish? -once the...

Would it also explain why I can't see the white spots at night when the lights are off? They only really show at daytime when the lights are on the fish!

So the ingredients in the Love fish White fish and parasite does contain malachite green and formalin. Yes it is ugly stuff. So it does look like that Oodinium sp / velvet. Is it the same thing? I'll bring the temp down now, as it would explain a bloody lot! As to why some fish haven't gotten...

I have a venturi open at the top of the filter though to create the bubbles. The bubbles don't stay around for too long. I'm always very careful when handling the tank, always wash and dry my hands with a clean cloth. I know to do this because my mother when I was younger almost killed their...

Much better image of the spot

Posted some more images of white spot and my tank water

I'll be honest, I can't see that visually with my eye... I think it's my partners phone that did that... There doesn't appear to be that. And the Fluval U3 filter has the top nozzle flowing across the surface. I'll record a video. That will make it easier to see.

By the way team! I love the responses and thank you... I appreciate this so much! https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/love-fish-white-spot-treatment

Hey @Essjay @GaryE This is very interesting... I'm wondering the same.. Unless I have some miracle god fish going around... **** I totally forgot to mention I have a pleco as well that hides all day and comes out at night. :D Please see image below... The yellow guppy is by far the worse... I...

Well at least I know it’s not the hardness that’s causing stress?

Hmmm. So what’s the best option now to reduce the hardness? I Should I try and put the temps up higher than 27c Thank you for the advise I’ve removed the post.

@Essjay

Hey there Ichthys, Firstly thank you for confirming my thoughts on the gravel change. So the water parameters are as follows (apologies I'm still 6 months in and using test strips!) Nitrate 40 Nitrite 0 PH 7.0-7.5 KH 120 GH 120-180 I live in Sussex, England where our Water is...

On another subject wondering if an Admin should move this to the emergency section? I could increase my temperature but I'm worried it will effect the Peppered Cory Catfish and Clown Loaches I have?

Hey Gary, Thanks for replying. The situation has gotten worse now. And stupidly by my doing... I was treating the tank when it had carbon filter pads in the U3 filter. I've since taken them out and re-dosed the treatment, as it looked completely ineffective. So to summarise on your above...

Ah that would make sense… Maidenhead Aquatics said they usually stock some… but they were really low on stock!

Just an update on new plants I got… unfortunately they had no top plants. But I will be looking.

Something I'm very tempted to do soon! Especially with potential sick fish as well... Thank you for pictures.

Afternoon all, Wondering if you could help answer some of my questions today regarding white spot and guppies specifically female guppies... Over the past few months now one in particular female guppy kept getting white spot. Some of the others had it as well, but after sufficient treatment it...

Morning Byron, Apologies I didn't get back to you any sooner, I was celebrating the dreaded 14th February with the Mrs yesterday haha! So the lighting has been adjusted today to come on around 10am and shut off around 17:00 so that's reduced it to 7 hours, thank you for that information, I'm...

really interested to hear how you've had trouble keeping them? As mine have had a spell recently of going into hidey hole spots in the tank and not coming out. No signs of attacking each other or anything, they come out for food... they just seem to have gotten very dosile recently.

Sorry and no plant fertilisers… I didn’t honestly know that was a thing?
