HELP NEEDED

[jgrieves1976]

Can anyone help me i'm at a loss to know whats happening.

My tank has been setup for over 10 weeks now, cycled the tank with 2 zebra danios and 2 phantom tetra's no problem. Following that 3 weeks later i added 6 neons ans 2 male guppy's.

Soon after i lost 2 neons, then last week i lost a guppy. I have come in from work tonight and my remaining guppy is swimming along the bottom with it's tail all clamped together. I'm sure it's about to dye and i don't know what to do. I haven't got another tank i can move it to.

Can anyone help me, i'm worried that my tank is diseased and i'm going to lose them all.

Thanks

Try a 25% water change right away and see if that perks him up. Failing that you could try melafix or some other type of general tonic to see if that helps. Without external symptoms like fin loss, spots, swimming erratically its hard to diagnose whats wrong. HTH

Just done a 50% water change. tested levels before water change and all fine, ammonia and nitrites 0, nitrates <50.

Got a closer look at him and he seems to have white patches on his head above his eyes. One of my neons has a white lump on his tail as well.

Could this be neon tetra disease.

I'm fearing the worst that i'm going to lose them all and have to start again.

I've got a 60litre tanks and all i've got in now are 2 zebras, 2 phantom's, 5 neons and this poorly guppy.
