Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = not sure of exact value, had it checked at local fish store yesterday and it was barely present.
pH = 7.4
I have a 220 L fluval tank, my fish are:
8 Guppies
2 mollys
2 platys
1 clown loach
1 cory
1 plec
1 leopard danio
1 emperor tetra
I do a 20-25% water change weekly. The tank has only been running about a month as i recently upgraded it, i have been keepin an eye on the ammopnia and nitrite but there hasn't been any spikes, they have always been 0 or nitrite has been 0 - 0.25ppm.
The tank is well planted and aerated.
In the past week i've lost 7 emperor tetra and now i've lost 3 guppies.
My tetra developed a silvery/white discolouration starting at the dorsal fin which worsened rapidly, going down both sides, the affected tissue then appeared pinkish in colour.
My guppies have developed the same thing except on them it has started at the base of the tail and is moving along the body, destroying the tail.
I've tried putting the affected fish in salt baths but this has not helped. I've had a look online but can't really seem to find anything definitive as to what it is or how to treat, please help before my tank is wiped out.
