Going to try this stuff first - Wunder White Spot Cure 50ml

When they say salt? Does that mean actual salt? Or aquarium salt from the lfs?

Ok thanks guys, sorry I Didn't look around the forum first.

- 6 Neons - 3 Tiger barbs - 1 Cory Only the Neons look affected.

Hmm it actually does look more like that tbh, what do I do :-?

Tried to take photos but they didn't come out very well. After doing a bit of research I'm pretty sure it is ich, they have white spots all over them (Neons) but my tiger barbs don't (not sure why). What is the best method of ridding this disease?

Haha I'm really not, I just took it literally not figuratively.

I just got your signature.

So lfs have said to wait it out for a week or 2.

Forgot the name sorry, but they a quite tall with big leaves. I also have baby tears, and sag grass.

Not using PH down anymore, will do the water change. Do you wash your hands before putting your hands in? I'm a smoker and perhaps that could of been on my hands, I bought plants the same day I got the fish.

Nope I used tap water I live in the outskirts of the city. Used the water ager stuff, that kills chlorine etc.

Cool, I'm just confused then as to why all the fish died :tears: That was only 2 days ago, surely water can't jump in that time?

Ok so Nitrite test is fine too! What else is left? Should I get them to test for Nitrate now? What else?

Ok so got water tested no anmonia in it, didnt take enough for them to test nitrate but bought a test kit and will test when i get home.

Thanks, I'm going to make sure it's perfect this time. Also maybe buy a whole water test kit.

Oh no she did use the same water, but filled the bag and took it over to a sink. Then came back and scooped the fish out ..

These ones looked happy as Larry in the lfs, she did however put them in a net and walk to the other side of the store to put them in water, I thought that was a bit weird. Why not just have the bag right beside the tank :dunno:

Yeah Im going to take some water to the lfs to get tested, it's just weird that my ammonia test kit doesn't work, like the water never changes colour when I add the solution. Also I haven't got a nitrite/nitrate test so that could be it also? To the question above, I slowly added water to the bag (like a little at a time) then when the bag was quite full I put them in. Also, I noticed when I put them in the currant would push them to one corner of the tank, why would they sell a tank and pump combo that is too strong for the tank. It does do just over 4x the water volume an hour which I have read is normal. But they were really fighting against the currant.

Not happy with my lfs, they sold me neon tetra's and said they are the best starter fish. I decided to trust them and bought 5. Let them float for 20 minutes, slowly added my water to their bag, eventually put them in. Went out for 3 hours and all of them had died .................... obviously the water isn't right or something, but after reading around it seems neons aren't hardy at all. Really mad and sad that I just killed those poor fish

won't a bristlenose be too large for a 60L?

Thanks guys

Really? Ok cool, maybe the testing kit was lying saying 7.0 is too high

The PH is reading about 7.0, I might double the dose of this PH down stuff.

Yeah I have cycled it by feeding the tank everyday, also used that cycle formula from the petshop. Although I have an ammonia test kit and everytime I test it doesn't show any change in colour, just the same colour as the water. Also the PH is quite high, and I have been treating the water with "PH Down" everyday, yet it doesn't seem to be changing, quite confused.
