Hi,this is my problem.
I have a 90 litre tank and it has been running since christmas.Up until two weeks ago all i had in there was one fantail and a large black moor.I thought they looked abit lonely in the tank so I got a small black moore and a very small koi for company.I introduced them ok and everything seemed fine up untill yesterday.I first noticed a change in the fantail(he`s about 1 and a half years old).He started to get slower and just lies on the bottom.the only time he moves is when I open a drawer and the tank which he thinks is feeding time as thats where I keep their food.Then today the black moore is doing the same thing.I have just come home from work and found the koi lying there too.The small black moore seems ok but he gasps at the surface alot.After further investigation I can see alot of white dots on the small fantail and large black moore and just 3 on the small blackmoore.The koi doent appear to have any dots but then again his skin is white so I probably cant see them.So,I`m guessing that one of the new fish brought ick to my tank?I have just changed 50% of the water.I read a little about introducing salt?This could be a really stupid question but will table salt do?
Please help I love these little guys.
