Hi all!
Thank you for an add to this group! Geez guys and girls, you are all so knowledgable!
i have been reading posts for quite a while, and found many answers to my questions. Now i feel it is time to join a great conversation and share what i know!
I hope you can help me with one of the issues that i cant find an answer.
So, I have 240 Ltr tropical tank with internal filter.
20 male guppies
3 dwarf gouramies
10 rosy tetras
3 rams (one royal and two german)
12 neon tetras
3 bristelnose plecos (two babies and one about 4 months old)
1 albino longfin pleco (2months old)
so my question is. several months ago, i noticed one of my male gouramies having a long clear poo, which then i didnt know it was internal parasites. six weeks on, he has died but my few other fish show the symptoms, so i decided after reading a lot to give them Waterlife Sterazin treatment. I have removed Carbon filter media and dosed the medication,but the water looks quite cloudy and dirty. All parameters are good, although nitrates just on the verge. My kit doesnt tell exact numbers of them, but the colour is good according to their chart, although could be lighter. As the treatment interferes with the water change, i have decided not to change the water for as long as the parameters are good, but that cloudy, greenish water worries me. I have to add, that im struggling with green algae even though it is not in the direct sunlight, and i only keep the light on for about an hour or two a day.
Sorry for confusing long post, hope someone might know the solution! Thank you
