Hi, apoligies if im in the wrong place, new to this forum lol, and excuse any lack of knowledge as I am still learning as im going along.
But Thanks in advance for any help.
brief background about the tank,
I have a Fluval 305 external filter,
which contains the standard foam screen, ammonia remover, BioMax, Carbon, polishing wool and peat granules if I can remember, outlet at surface level to create surface turbulance.
temperature holds at 25.5 degrees
got pea gravel, with undergravel filter (powered by oxygen pump) so plenty of oxygen.
a number of various plants
and the proper tropical fish lighting tube.
fish are fed small amounts several times a day, no visible leftovers on the bottom of the tank.
in the tank, I have 2 plecostomus, 3 new clown loaches only about 2 weeks ive had them, already had an existing loach since last year so 4 in total.
Had to get them because at 1 point had an outbreak of snails.
4 small angel fish, 1 pink gourami, 1 blue gourami, 1 Siamese Fighting Fish (i think), 1 rummy nose tetra (again not sure)
thats the background of the tank, not sure if im doing anything wrong?
but, in the past 24 hours ive only just noticed that all 4 clown loaches seem to have white air bubble looking spots on their head, body and tail.. I didnt remember seeing it the other day seems to of been a sudden outbreak thats effected them all, and 1 has started swimming at surface level. All seem lively.
So, if it is not too late, was just wondering if anybody had any sugestions on how to treat this outbreak?
Again, thanks in advance.
