No they were doing it before the melafix, starting today. What do you recommend for the medication?

No it hasn't, I just put some melafix in. I noticed a bunch of my fish are clamping their fins and brushing against things like they have an itch or something. I'm completely clueless now, but it does seem more and more like bacteria.

I'd stick a piece of driftwood in to slowly lower it if you are worried. But it's not through the roof or anything.

I use steamed peas from frozen which I split up a bit, they sink immediately. Some of the healthy ones will pick a few up, but the two I'm worried about won't go for them at all.

Did you clean the filter after the whitespot? I've heard it can hide away in it's 2nd stage for ages.

Are their eyes sunken at all?

After the salt bath my fish first dropped to the bottom and kind of panted for a bit, but eventually she got back up and joined into the shoal again. I did a 75% water change with half distilled and half tap water (with dechlorinize), since one of my other fish floated on his head for a minute...

I could be wrong, but it sounds like they are hiding from the betta.

What do you recommend for green veg? I'm doing a salt bath now. They don't seem to be taking to the peas at all.

Yeah I was going to do that but I don't have a hospital tank available and if I put epsom salt with my plecos my entire house would probably be covered with poo. I'll try to feed her peas. Edit: I feed my fish using a multi feeder from tetra. It's like flakes, pellets, and shrimp (dried or...

It's just the one fish and it's been bloated for a while (probably 3 months now). The water conditions are pretty much perfect. There are a few BN plecos in the tank as well. I don't want to do a massive water change since the water out of my tap has a lot of ammonia. I'll try not feeding for a bit.

Congratulations. I hope you know they grow to about 12-16", not 6". Make sure you tank is big enough. You might come a lot closer to owning a shark than you were hoping :P

One of my 8 tiger barbs is bloated and turning upside down. She's been bloated for a while now and I thought it was just cause she was my only female. I think it might be Malawi bloat from what I've read. Are there any treatments for this? I currently don't have a hospital tank so I can't...

Well I got 4 more tigers since mine seemed distant from each other. So since they are occupied I had a chance to move some of my plecos over. They grew pretty fast and half were 2-2.5 inches long so I moved those over and the tigers seem to be almost afraid of the really big one. They do poo a...

I read that if you raise them together and provide enough hiding places, a 55-75 gallon will work fine. Is this accurate?
