Hello All,
Let's see, I got my first aquarium about 2 months ago, l'd read up a little and tried a fishless cycle and then got some fish about a week afterwards. All was golden, I change 25% of my water and vacuum every week...etc.
I'd gone 2 months without losing a fish (not bad for a beginner) and suddenly I lost a Gourami. About 2 days before I lost the fish, I noticed some brown spots, for a lack of a better term, on some of my faux plants and other hiding places. There is also a little on my gravel. The spots look almost like rust spots and I have the feeling that the death of my first fish was related, considering the death occured a couple of days after I noticed the spots. Can anyone give me an idea of what this is and how I can quickly eliminate it, before I lose any more fish??
Many thanks,
SS
