    Just popping in to say no other fish seem to be having a problem. We are going to continue to tetracyline treatment thru the week, then work on getting the water back to an acceptable colour so we can sell the tank. Thanks for all the advice and take care.

    @Byron this reply makes me find your assistance confusing... If I shouldn't raise or lower anything, why are you even advising me to find out what the gH is, if you do not recommend altering any perimeters... Feels like the advice kinda cancels itself out and the whole conversation wasn't...

    I need to get the kit I mentioned. We are leaving on a long weekend trip this morning and it's just not on my priority list atm. Interestingly, the tap water I left out to test had a pH of 7.0 and the kH was still 1dkh. If the pH went neutral, then doesn't that suggest something in my tank is...

    Okay, that's a lot of information to take on. First I'd like to preface to add that I am in Australia. @kiko Thanks for the info. My remaining rasboras are fine atm. The light was off and I think that's why it was swimming oddly. It's colour looks okay today, maybe I panicked. My concern isn't...

    Thanks for the input. No new decor has been added since the tank was started. A new plant and then the eel are the only recent things. Nothing has been dropped in there by me or hubby, and while I do have a 5 yo, he has never touched the lid or tried to open it before. There must be something...

    Hmm, that is unfortunate. My fish like 24-25°C minimum, (75.2-77°F) according to my research. I can't fix or suppress the issue with lowering the temp then, as it would be too cold.

    Thanks for the reassurance. I'm wary I'll ever get this tank healthy at this point. Our plan was to do the 25% water change tonight (I was thinking a bit more actually), then treat and repeat every 3 days as the shop girl said, for 4 treatments, which is how much meds we have. I did read there...

    *Tagging users is working weird..? GaryE Thank you, that does align almost exactly with what is happening since the eel was added, then removed. I did not add the water the eel came with to tank, (naturally), but I suspect it was already infected without symptoms. JuiceBox52 No nothing like...

    Not often enough. We did a 25% change between the last big cleaning and I meant to do them at least fortnightly, but life is busy as and of course it didn't happen. So, it hasn't had anything since we cleaned on the 1st. As far as gH goes for now, when we add new water I test the pH and kH then...

    Hi, thanks. The kits is the Aqua One 5-in-1 and I don't have anything to test gH.

    Hi Everyone, Been looking for a place for some advice. Here's what's going on... Here's the history: We set up a 120L tall tank in March. I cycled it empty for 6 weeks. We bought the tank used. It had sat for 18 months with a bit of water and overgrowth of various algae and was completely...
