Quick Q's ?

[AdAndrews]

1st q is stringy poo a bad sign for a fish?- its getting to about the same size as the body, just a bit bigger
on my 2 bosemani's i have little white spots on their fins theres about 3 spots in all started with a few more but i added whitespot treatments, is it white spot?

Stringy poo can be internal parasites or bacterial infection. White spots can be a lot of things. Whitespot (ich) looks like the salt on a pretzel.

Overstocking and poor water quality are often root causes of both - you've had several threads regarding your stocking, is your sig still accurate? Do you have a test kit?

 

[Jallen]

It probably is whitespot, and you will continue to have problem after problem, involving frequent deaths until you rehome most of your fish.

It's ridiculously overstocked to the level of being cruel.

Stuff

You do realise, based on the measurements in your tank thread that your tank is not 55 gallons and is in fact 43 gallons?

4' = 48"
48 * 2.5 = 120
18 * 2.5 = 45
12 * 2.5 = 30

120 * 45 * 30 = 162000

162/1000 = 162

162 L.

162/3.78 = 42.85 gallons

deff sounds like white spot. you need to treat and try to seperate as much as poss to try to prevent it spreading again and again!

Jallen, I'm aware of how big my tank is. Where are you getting those dimensions from, anyway? They aren't mine. If they were, you're off by several gallons anyway - convert at the end, don't convert back and forth between measuring systems.

1. You can convert whenever you like.
2. Those WERE the measurements you had in YOUR tank thread, therefore they are your measurements.

Don't think you can try and make me look wrong, this obvious piece of information sits at the bottom of your original post in your tank thread: This post has been edited by Corleone: Today, 12:14 AM

You changed one of your measurements from 12" to 15".

 

[Corleone]

No, I added tank measurements because you just decided to assume it was the smallest 4' standard size on the market., the only thing in it was 4' You can come over and measure the damn thing yourself.

Secondly, you can convert any time you want if you do it correctly. You accumulated errors every time you did it, as a 48x12x18 tank would be 121.92x30.48x45.72, which is 169.9 liters, or 44.88 gallons.
