Tank has 0 'ites, 'ates fluctuate with erratic fertilization but never above EI recommended levels, CO2 fluctuates -DIY. Heavy planted and algaed and 3 yrs established. Weekly 50% water changes. Light on the fish food.
Changed out 3 healthy adult angels (Sold). Raised them from dime size. Bought molly and tiger barbs & BNP. Didn't quarantine. I know, I know.
Fish acted like they had ich but no visible spots...flashing, some w/ fins down. Did 14 days w/ temp @ 89F. Cooled tank back down to 75F. Fish seem to still have problems. The barbs are flashing, some with fins down. One of the bullet-proof 3+ yr old RNTs is not with its school and breathing rapidly. Only visible thing on the fishes skin is the Male black molly's color is fading/looking rough, though he's acting healthy. It looks like he might even have hole-in-the-head. Flush time for him? 1 inch BNP has occasional head shakes.
No cory. Barbs not pestering others, just themselves.
What whole tank treatment should I try next that is easy on plants. I have quick cure and aquasol on hand. No space/equipment for quarentine.
Thanks
