hello everyone,
was just having a look at my fish just now and noticed one of my tetras has got popeye and my rainbow guppy has developed severe finrot i changed a 1/4 of the water on tuesday as i always do and the water seems to look a bit funny now. its difficult to describe.....its got a greyish tinge to it almost like its heavily aerated.
i bought a test kit tested the water just now and its not looking good....ammonia 2-4 ppm, nitrite 0.25ppm and nitrate 10ppm.
i have been struggling to get rid of a black/blue algae for some time now but its never really affected the fish before and i wonder if it is now.
is popeye contagious?? am i going to have to put the fish down just in case?? he doesnt seem to be struggling at all but all of the fish seem to be a bit agitated and im worried they are going to die one by one now
, the guppy with finrot seems to be very poorly.
any help would be much appreciated.....i can take piccys and post them if req
