Ok, so there's been some weird going's on in my tank over the past couple of weeks.
Firstly here's some info about my tank;
90l, 2 yellow goldfish, 3 guppies, 8 platies, 7 golden barbs, 1 apple snail.
The last time I tested this tank was on 11/01 where my test results were absolutely fine (ph 7.5, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20ppm). The last time I did a water change was last Friday 20/01 when I changed roughly 50% of the water.
A couple of weeks ago I had a bout of fin/mouth rot but this only seemed to affect my guppies & consequently killed off 11 of them, all my other fish were absolutely fine & showed no symptoms whatsoever.
Last weekend I noticed I had ich so I cranked my temp up to 29 celsius (74f) & have been adding King British Methylene Blue to the tank every 4 days (there have been 2 doses of 10ml as the bottle says 1ml for every 9 litres). Today all signs of ich have gone. What's weird is that it was only my platies that had the white spots...
Today however I've noticed that my golden barbs all have a few scales missing. See the picture at the bottom of the post. Also one of my guppies has some discolouration on one of her sides, it's hard to describe but if you look at the picture you can see an almost triangular sort of marking on her side.
Does anyone know what may be causing these problems to my guppies or my golden barbs? I only have methylene blue medication which is already in the tank but I am happy to get other medication if I need to.
As always, thanks in advance for any help.
Regards, Luke.
