Tank size: 125l
pH: 7-8
ammonia:0.4
nitrite:0.1
nitrate:25-50
tank temp:26 degrees C
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): white fluffy patch on "nose" of bristlenose spotted about two days ago. He has been harder to spot and nowhere near as active as normal.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: 25l every 2-3 weeks, did one yesterday
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: none
Tank inhabitants: 6 guppies, 2 red robin gouramis, 1 honey gourami, Clown plec
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): a week ago I added the Bristlenose and the Clown plec
Exposure to chemicals: none as far as I know
Digital photo (include if possible): if I can find him I will post a pic
I'm going to re-test the water now, the above readings were before my water change yesterday and both ammonia and nitrate had been higher than normal since addition of bristlenose and clown plec.
Also, this morning I saw one of the guppies "flashing", never seent his before. Is he catching this?
Will this spread to my other fish? What should I treat with? Hope you guys can help!
