Hi all need some help,
I have 5 neons, 6 black neons, 3 peppers, 1 albino, 1 common plec, 2 breeding mollies(mixed species) 8 orange coloured fish of which i have no idea and 2 apple snails was 3.
The problem is everything is poorly, the peppers are acting strange, they keep darting to the surface (which i know is normal), but alot more often than they used to. One of the pepper, my largest one, is breathing heavily and seems to off lost its balance. I found him this morning upside down behind the filter he seems to be listing to one side or the other. One of the gold fish seems to off developed some form of abrasion to his side, which i thought at first was itch, but no im not so sure.
The mollies are fine as are the other species.
I had a snail die in the tank while i was at work. I removed her as soon as i got home. but these problems are spiralling from this point about 5 days ago.
I am performing water changes 25% everyday at the moment. Although my amonia is still at 0.25 and it has been like that since day one last Nov. I have cleaned my filter this morning. I have also added stress coat to try to combat the skin illness. Along side a fungus treatment.
I am completely at a loss, i have no idea what is wrong. The water levels are the same as they always have been. Nothing has changed. I feel completely helpless and my fish are what looks like dying.
Please help!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
