29 gal tank
nitrite 0
ph 7.2-7.6 (normal for my tank)
nitrate 0-5 but closer to 5
amm 0
I have :
2 loaches(zebra and kuhlli)
2 dwarf Gourami's (males)
3 guppies plus 5 babies in a fish breeder net
3 platties, most recent addition as of last sat and al are great!
3 angels all are well (young)
2 dwarf frogs
My dwarf has had a hard time with the other male and in the past few weeks has seemed like it's given up- it has been hiding except to come and eat... I was looking to re-home my other gourami to aleaviate this. AS of three days today i noticed it hasn't come out to eat... upon futher inspection it has some sort of dark "stuff" on its head back to the gills across it's back and traveling down to it's lower fins... The fish seems to be getting worse and I don't know what to do.
One of my other guppies looks like maybe it has the same stuff on it but i can't be sure it isn't coloring of the fish... The same guppie has a split tail fin that I noticed a week ago but thought nothing of- it is healthy looking eatting swimming active...
What do you all think it is, what do I do about it? Should I add salt? Should I get other meds?
My best guesses from internet surfing are velvetlooks moreblack/greay thatrust colored tho), black patches, or fungus/bacteria(altho it is not hairy at all)
Any help is greatly appreciated!! This is my first illness...:help: :help: :help:
