Hi all, I wonder if anyone can advise a newbie with a problem.
I have just finished a fishless cycle on a Juwel Rio 300 (first tank) and stocked it with 20 harlequin rasboras about 24hrs ago. All looked well until I got home from work today and noticed one had developed a white pectoral fin, the whole fin is white , not just spots. A few of the other fish's pectoral fins look like they are also going a bit white.
They are eating ok (just fed for first time) and look fine otherwise.
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrate 5-10 (same as tap water)
Ph 7.4 (shop Ph where bought was 7.6)
Kh 4d
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and suggest how to treat etc?
Thanks in advance
Stan
