i posted before about my new 33 gallon.

now all 6 bloodfins are dead, with no physical signs of them being ill

now the penguin tetras have a sort of white appearance to their fins, not in spots just white patches

Ive no idea what this is...

My water quality is still fine, and im going to do another bog water change

i need help, my new tank is going to pot
 
Could be a fungal disease. Are the white patches fluffy like cotton wool? Or white and slimy.

Any white stringy poo?
 
as we speak im losing a penguin hes lost the ability to swim right

the patches are just on their fins looks like fin rot sort of, not fluffy, not particularly slimy but im not sure, it sort of looks like their fins are changing colour

no stringy white poo

i think a fish must have brought something in,

im going to lose them all i can tell =[
 
Oh dear, that's bad news, poor you!
You could try some eSHa 2000 or interpet antibacterial but it sounds like it may be too late.

If the worst happens, eSHa 2000 does rid a tank of infection, finrot and fungus, it might be worth dosing the tank anyway for the future.

Good luck
 
thanks, ive now lost another 2 penguins there are only 2 left....

i added melafix, could i also add interpet antibac? just incase?

there are only 4 fish left =[

im going to a huge water change within the hour, and clean the gravel and the plants just incase

argh bad bad bad bad bad =[
 
Check on thelabels, I'm not sure about melafix and antibac :unsure:
 
Ive done a 50l water change, dosed melafix and anti bac [its okay]

oh and ive lost the last 2 penguins

I hope the last remaining fish will be okay
 
my last remaining fish [2 kribs, a ram and a syno] seem to be okay, they are eating, but not moving about terribly much - im putting that down to not being in their new home for that long

the ram has some sort of has a white edging on her fins, i dont know if it is fungus but im treating with things the best i can...

if anyone cares....=[
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope the treatment works.
