My wife told me that one of the pandas had white spots on it. I thought ich at first, but upon inspection it is a white body fungus. I immediately tested the water; nitrate 7, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, ph 7.0, temp. 80F. What gives? This aquarium also has my 7 L183s, 4 platys/swordtails, 2 danios, 2 pandas. I don't want ANYTHING to happen to my L183s. What should I use that will be effective yet safe?

Hey Funky!
Have you tried Pimafix at all?

I've just received this from Funky, any ideas? I'm afraid I haven't confirmed what the treatment was. But I've never seen Pimafix do this.
Funky wrote:"I treated the tank and all the fish went to the surface. The L183s were swimming upside down at the surface and others were sticking their faces out of the water. I did a 25% water change and the L183s have gotten better, but the other fish and 1 L183 is at the surface gasping for air. I have an 802 powerhead with full airflow and a pump running an air stone. I can't see through the side of the tank to the other side. What should I do?"

Its not cloudiness from the meds. Its the amount of air I have going into the tank. 2 L183s and 2 swordtails are still at the surface, but they aren't really gasping for air. Any thoughts?

I've sent you a PM at Babble, Funky. I really hope I'm on the right track - if so, it's a simple solution.
