disaster has struck

[jimbooo]

thanks for all the suggestions everyone. the lampeyes look pretty neat. could definatly be an option.

update: got home lastnight to a silver dollar doing the backstroke emergency 40% water change (nothing else i could do really) to save the last one and woke up this morning to the other one dead.

along with my favourite home bred guppy.

rip little dude.

what should i do now? i have compleated a weeks course of protazin. 3 guppys still have whitespot and all other fish are dead apart from 3 plecs (2 baby, 1 adult) which seem uneffected.

water changes with carbon filtering? i cant think of anything else and dont want to over do the meds.

You could have a mix of normal Harlequins, pink Harlequins and albino Harlequins?

Or maybe cherry barbs? They always look affective and stay small.

I think Hatchetfish is a good idea, around 20 or so would do great in that tank, just make sure the hood is fairly well sealed.

Regarding your whitespot Jimbooo - have you increased tank temp. to speed up the ich's lifecycle?

The one small case I had when I started out was cured by setting to 32C and adding tonic salt, combined with large water changes.

thanks mate, worth a try. temp is 28 at the moment. i'll turn it up tonight and add some salt.
