Q: How does one treat an aquarium(30 gal tank) spoiled by Fish virus?
How does one treat an aquarium(30 gal tank) spoiled by Fish virus?
My fish tank had 18 fishes last summer - one day I felt pity for a leftover (feeding fish)Guppy and put it in my tank. Believe it or not, that little guy killed ALL my 18 fishes - I tried Fin repair medication, changing cycle with fresh water - nothing worked! I beyond mad and left this little orange guy in a fish bowl(without any plants) for 3 weeks without added food(OK, I was mean) and still the he was kicking alive with no infection except a tiny patch of fin loss. At last, I set in our outdoor pond.
If anyone solved a similar problem, PLEASE do let us know before someone pays a price of 18 fishes again.
Thanks a lot,

you are going to have to do alot of cleaning, take everything out of the tank and hand wash it. make a hot water n vinigor solution and hand wash everything. from this mix into a luck warm water bath and scrub scrub scrub, then over in a cold water dip. repeat step 2 n 3 a few time's. you are going to have to do this with every plant (hope they are plastic) and every deco item. get new rock's or wyou will be washing for a while. then when the tank is empty do the same step's on the tank. make sure you was with plenty clean water (step 2n3)
there is never a 100% on placeing new fish into your tank, you always run a risk. (dont blame the guppy)
