Hi my rosey barb has started to act realy strange, i have videos and pictures you can see the pink small lumps which have appeared to the top and bottom fin.They
dont seem to be getting bigger but she has started to move realy strange. She keeps pointing her whole body down ways so her nose is facing the stones and her fins flicker so fast. Then all of a sudden she will act normal again. I have no other barbs in the tank as ive had a major problem with my tank lately. Fish keep dyeing but some dont look ill or have anything obvious like lumps. Myself and my neighbour have been finding levels of ammonia in our tap water. This is before anything is added and before its even gone into the fish tank.
Im just puzzled now what to do.
I do my water changes and add tap safe and i have had all these different aquatic shops advising me different things and nothings helped. Latest victim was another guppy and a danio.
some stores say use bottled water, is this ok? im not sure whos advice to take anymore.
Also my neighbours fish are dyeing about the same rate as mine roughly one every few weeks, theyv only had there tank set up about 6 months now and did everything by the book so to speak. there water directly from the tap also showed up with ammonia in it.
i feel bad that the fish are now dyeing and some fish are now left without a partner. dont want to add anymore fish until i know its safe.
hope ive done the pics correctly
