Have a whitespot outbreak in my ABN tank. 4 in the tank , 1 male 3 females.
Some questions I upped temp to 30, is this safe. I removed the very badly affected tetras to an isolation tank to buy time for plecos. But plecos now have spots on fins. I also drastically increased areation. Cleaned the tank WC and started using protozin. Poor little things are breathing rapidly not eating, so not feeding much to preserve good water quality and quite distressed. However amorous male still chasing the ladies creating stress for them, all 3, is it worth dividing tank to separate him? Is it safe or not to use API aquarium salt?
Params.
Ammonia.0
Nitrites.0
Nitrate.0
PH.7.5
Dont have hardness kit, but tapwater is relatively hard. Using peat pellets in filter and wood to soften water.
Temp going towards 30 gradually.
Tank size. 4ft x1ft x1ft two 1500 LPH Internal filters. Always over filter my pleco tanks. Lots .of decor hiding spots. No other fish now. WC Substrate vac daily, occasionally with cool water to induce spawning. Use tetrasafe dechlor.
Hope I've included all the requested info, if not just ask!
Feed them new era rift lake green, repashy, soilent green, algae wafers. Lots of different veggies.
