ok so when i got 5 neons they had fin rot :crazy: it has no been a week
i have gave a few a salt baths which had the worst fin rot and they seem to be doing fine but their fin tips are still a bit white but they are not falling off.... i was using interpet ANTI INTERNAL BACTERIA i have given 2 doses and today is a water change day.... on the pack it does not say how many doses to give has any1 have any expierence i think that i will have to give a nother dose is that ok?

and today i sow a white line on one of my neons it looks like his/hers slime coat is coming off :no: i am not sure... but i have pictures

what could that be and how should i treat it?

thanks in advance guys :good:
 
should i give it a salt bath or just add the salt to the tank? if i should add the salt to the tank how much of it do i add into the tank?

thanks
 
Is it just that one? What's your water like?
 
yes it is just the one and the water is great everything is 0 but the ph is around 7.4 ( well it was when i last cheched it which was a few days a go ) i did put bogwood in the tank to try and lower it...
 
I wouldn't add salt with neons as they are sensitive. If you must, 1 half teaspoon per5 gal of aquarium salt ( half usual dose). Is that one fish being bullied by the rest? How big is the tank?
cheers
 
well just an update the fish is fine the white line is gone :D and the fish was not bullied all i did was give it some time... so happy that it's ok
