Hi all!
My boyfriend has a freshwater catfish tank that has or had the following inhabitants:
Dead over the last 2 days
3 rose line shark
1 red tail shark
2 Pictus catfish
Still in the tank and seemingly unaffected
3 glass catfish
2 upside down catfish
this all started when he bought the 2 pictus and roseline home. Over about 3 days they became completely covered in tiny white spots (pictus more so). I assumed ich so he started treating everyone with imaginarium parasite remedy and seachem stability today. Mind you, his tank is new and it’s been sitting between 0.5 and 1ppm ammonia. We did a 50% water change and it’s back to 0-0.5 ammonia. He’s upset and I know next to nothing about freshwater fish. QT isn’t an option but we have nothing else alive in the tank, it’s all decor. He doesn’t think it’s ich because there are white puffy growths in the tank.
parameters:
Ammonia-0-0.5
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
Do you guys/gals have any idea on where to go next?
