Yes, you're obviously correct. That's why all the other fish are perfectly healthy, full of colour, eating well and moving around as normal!

I severely doubt it, as between the water change and bloom happening, there was only about 12 hours.

I have a test kit but I won't post anything because it's a ####ty one. I've ordered a bunch of stuff, including a good kit so I'll post them tomorrow hopefully. I didn't do any water changes, as it would just of made the bloom worse, as the bacteria would of had to reproduce more.
