Hi sorry, 6 and a half days at full strength for the ich x dosing as bottle says. White spots have gone for a few days now. Only seen that yo-yo flashing. Keep dosing? I didn’t up the temp to kill anything. It’s to speed up the lifecycle of the parasite so the medication can do its work. Oxygen...

Update. This yo-yo is still flashing. Temp 29. Ich x has been in for 6 half days now dosing properly. Why would this yo-yo still be doing this? Bare in mind prior had anti internal bac treatment and salt and high temp for 2 weeks. Gone through everything now. No more deaths but why the flashing...

UPDATE. for anyone looking as same issue. Due to the flashing and rapid breathing i have come to the conclusion of ich as no signs of anything else. ICH inside the gills on the barbs and skin of YOYOs. Barbs, affecting the gills hence them dying slowly and before dying at top of tank. Their...

Weird init

Ok yes understood but what Colin has said I have done and doesn’t seem to have worked. Tret for internal infection, external infection. No obvious signs of disease other than one by one fish dying. Literally just stop eating and then waste away. Other fish flashing occasionally. Yo-yos now...

Hi Byron. I did think the gh and kh was ok for the fish I have. But I still have this issue of fish dying one by one and stopping eating. No obvious signs of anything disease wise. Colin suggested heat and salt, tried that. Then I tried a anti internal bacteria treatment. Jury is out on all 3...

Betta 2000 540 canister. Tank is 240l

Could this be why they are flashing and stopping eating? Also how much you think in the filter?

Yes yo-yo loach and different barbs. I’ll do some research. Good job I bought some crushed coral just in case when I was starting out

Ok so as a general rule for all my fish 18 is the min? Barbs mainly and loach.

Are you sure? I thought it only has to be like that for livebearers? @Byron

Well yes pro job strip, gh 5 on the container, kh 3/53 on container. Says ppm.

Kh is 3 and gh is 5

What about too low kh and gh? It’s at bottom of spectrum. Not enough nutrients in water?

For arguments sake. Could it be the led light causing stress? Hence yo-yos hiding. The barbs to shelter from the light I have noticed. The sick fish all go to same area, next to heater between filter and heater top of tank.
