Iv been having a few probs with my tank as of late. My Coraline is starting to turn whiteish.. or have little white spots on it.. Any ideas whats causing this? My rocks also have alot of green fuzzy looking algae on them? I dont think its green hair algae.

I gave him a dip for 5 minutes... he did ok through it and looked better then he originally did when he went back into the tank. 2 hours later he was on his last breath......i put him in a bowl of salt water so he wouldnt wonder behind a rock... and he passed within a minute of going into the...

I have a Copper Banded butterfly that seems to have a case of Ich. Its eyes look foggy and there is dots all over it... It is hanging around the very top of the water. Should i try a fresh water dip? I dont have a hospital tank :mad: Is it to late for him? Should i take him out if its to late...
