Hello There
I'm hoping someone can help me with my problem. I have a 200L community tank which has been settled and fine for ages. About a month ago a added some blue neon tetras and since then my fish I've had for ages have been falling in and dying. So far I have lost 1 x Molly (she was a big healthy fish I'd had for about 6 months) 2 x Guppies (both of which I'd had for four months) and 1 x Chinese hill stream loach.
The symptoms seem to be finrot. The molly had one side fin and her mouth affected - the fin seemed to shrivel away and there was white cotton wool like look to the edge of it and on the day she died around her mouth too. I've been treating the tank with Intepret Fungus and Finrot treatment and she looked as if to be getting better yesterday as she had started swimming around, then she just seemed to keel over and die.
The guppies both started swimming/remaining in one place at the surface and their fins had 'closed up' then the tails became opaque before they died.
This morning a third Guppy is showing the very same symptoms and i'm afraid I'm going to lose him too.
I've been doing daily 10% water changes adding conditioner to try and help them. Can anyone give me any help with this problem please.
For information my water quality is showing as fine - Zero Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate PH is 7.5
Thank you
