Thank you for the tips Larry, it's nice to see that I'm not crazy by insisting to go the more natural route to kill these white horrors Mad

I would like to know your opinion though regarding the substrate cleaning. Do I need to go all the way to the glass on the bottom of the aquarium? Will this ...

Thank you for your reply Barbie. I feel more confident things will get better now. As you suggested I won't add anymore Pimafix and just let the Diatom filter and hight temp do their thing.

Daragh - thank you for your continuous help!

All of the fish are still alive and seem to be doing good. They're moving about and eating. I did a 25% water change last night and have slowly raised the temp to 31 degrees. They seem to be taking the heat pretty well for now. I'm keeping the neons open ...

OK well I looked into ick or white spot and it seems that's definitely what they have. At present I only have the 7 Blues and 15 Tetras in the tank. Can the Tetras handle 30 degrees?

Thanks

Hi Daragh,

Thank you so much for your reply. The small little mini white spots have appeared only today. They weren't there when I left for work this morning and not all of the Blues have it. The fungus on the other hand they all have. Does this really mean I have both ick and fungus in my tank at ...

HELP!! With Fungus & ICH on my newly incorporated L239s

Hello everyone :)

Sorry for the super quick intro but I really need your help on an urgent matter. Over the weekend I slowly added 7 L239 Blue Panaques to my tank. I noticed they had some whitish spots on them and called the store to inquire - they replied it was a normal discoloration from being ...
