Fishaholic
i've noticed on one of my new (been in there for 3 days now) kribs has some cooton like fungus on his top (dorsal) fin, at first there was one when i firt put him in there, now there looks like there is a second. i shall be treating this ASAP, it is not spreading to any other fish (yet) *touch wood* (i have a UV Clarifyer in the filter).
i know to remove the carbon from the filter and to increase aireation, this will be done by droping the water level more so the filter dispurbes the water surface more and will be adding a second airpump+ airstone.
will Pimafix help to cure this if not what will.
tank size: 180l tank - 200l of water including water in filter.
my water stats are fine at
7.8pH
0PPM ammonia
0PPM nitrIte
NitrAte was 20PPM yesterday.
the temp is around 26.5-28.0 Celcius
KH and GH : unknowen
chemicals recently added: some more dechlorinator to help the healing of my dwarf gourami who has been in a fight and got some damage to his tail fin which is only the "web" part as the "bone" part is still moving. he is happily eating away.
Stress Zymen today 5ml to help biological filtration.
1ml plant food 2-3 days ago
new additions: (i did a fishLess cycle) 1 pair of kribs four days ago, 1 pair of dwarf gouramis male 8 days ago female 4 days ago, 6 odessa barbs 3:3 ratio of male:female added three weeks ago and 5 Adolfi corys (oridianly 6 but one died after being in the tank for less than one hour and was instantly removed).
water quality has never gone more than 3 days (still adding fish ATM and want to make sure the water stays okay) and always been 0ppm Ammonia and nitrIte.
i do weekly 10-20% water changes and last week i did four 10litter water changes and multiple 5litter
the decor consists of 3 peaces of bogwood and lots of plants, 5 Amazon swords and 6 Amazon sword sprouts and other unidentifyed plants.
an air pump if ran at night and CO2 is being added for about 1 hours a day at 4 bubbles a min (i dont have a KH testing kit to monitor CO2 levels)
i hope thats all i need to say.

Probably not a bad idea to half treat the tank...Hospitalising the poorly one a definate...
