Fish Tank Hell: Bacteria Bloom - White Spot - Ammonia High.....

[nozone]

I have just talked with a friend of mine who works in a pet store, he has a spare tank to rehome all of my fish and advised me starting again with the cycle issues. He advised that provided the stress of the journey isn't the final blow to these fish, they will be able to deal with the other issues (white spot).

Though this is very helpfull, I will have to be extra carefull when building the tank back up to not get the same issue again.

I do thank all of you for your support. I will bag these fish and return them right after work today.

Thanks again!

If you are rehoming every one of your fish, are you planning on doing a fishless cycle instead?

Yes, I will move all fish out, rinse everything to clean it and begin again. I plan to do a fishless cycle, yes. Though last time I didn't, I used neons in the first stage, which at the time I didn't know was bad I just followed the advice of my local store.

Good luck with your new fishless cycle, hope this time things go more easily for you- there is a couple of pinned articles on fishless cycling in the beginners section if you ever need any help on that .
