So i bought 5 neon tetras about 2 weeks ago and put them in a new dirted tank. Now they're getting white spots all over them. What's causing this? The water? I do 2-3 50% water changed a week because of the dirt.
Your tetras are getting Ich or Ichthyophthirius multifilis...These are small grain of white spot that a slowly grows and stresses out your fish until they are no more. But there are common ways to treat this you can do the following treatment:
ick .due to stress and new tank syndrome.
result in death is highly.
Neon tetras will die if you look at them wrong. The ones that make it will last a long time. Like the others have said, they have ich. Treat the tank as directed, then wait 7-10 days and treat again. The parasite can only be killed during it's free swimming stage. Neon's are not a fish for a new tank. Add them after it is well established.
well talk!
they need mature tank and not newly setup.
Hope everything works out.
Thank you for all the info.
So,if i don't do anything will the ich kill them?
That ich..go get a treatment from ur lfs and that should clear it up...
first time i got neon's they had ich as well, bring the temp to above 80 and treat with anti ich medication available at your lfs
