Found out that 5 of my neon tetras have mouth rot.

I found out today that 5 of my 10 neon tetras have mouth rot.

So I am treating them with Pimafix, Melafix, and some aquarium salt. If my research is correct my fish should be cured in 1-2 weeks. I have taken out my carbon and replaced it with another sponge to improve my filtration during there medication. I hope this works.

 

this link would be helpful and clean water is very important

 

Thanks for the link. By the way my water is currently in perfect condition

 

what the water parameter now?

 

Ummm. It's 78°F, I have a good filter, I use Co2 for my plants and I do at least 1 water change per week. I don't measure the nitrates and stuff.

 

not only that
but

ammonia
nitrite
nitrate

u have to because that the whole point of water parameter...

I guess ur tank is not cycled and its not perfectly safe as u would say...

 

What test kit would you recommend?

 

apI master,
that thing only cost me 30 dollars in my lfs in canada
seachem is more expensive but way more accurate in general.

 

How long will it last for?

 

3 years...

 

Then I will look into buying a test kit immediately

 

yeah..most 2 years...lol
