I was a fool and did not properly cycle a brand new tank that I placed some of my day one fish into. I was upgrading them from a 28 to a 40 gallon. New tank syndrome and ick started to infect the tank. Not wanting to loose my Gourami, one of the last ones left in that tank to survive and not have spots, I scooped him and put him into my only other tank- the 55 gallon.
Next day my two silver dollars in the 55 had full blown ick. Next day they both die. Then one of my original fish I ever bought that I raised from a little cichlid dies. I feel like I should just stop keeping fish. This is devastating to me. I made such a colossal mistake and then another huge mistake right after it. And now one my last remaining fish in either tank, the Convict I've had almost the longest of them all, is dying. I've been dosing both tanks daily with Marineland Ick Remedy and doing a 25% water change every 24 hours per the bottles instructions. Now my remaining Convict has lost the little white spots but it looks like white mold covering its body and eye. Could this be a secondary fungal infection?
