Question: Is there any sort of drop I can add to my paddle-tail newt's tank to fight a "possible" bacterial infection?
Problem: My brown dictoms magically went away... And then half my tank died. Two tetras, a few guppies, and a loach were involved. I have a few guppies and a scissor tail left in there along with a pleco but I don't know if there is much I can do for them. My betta developed pop-eye and had been doing OK (I removed him from the tank when he started exhibiting distress) until today (he's obviously dying but he's also -very- old) The PH level is and has always been 7 and other than the current the temperature has had no "reason" to fluctuate.
Possible causes?
-I replaced the filter with an underwater one. I could tell the betta was not pleased so I removed him when he showed stress.. The rest of the fish seemed fine though.
-The pleco I recently added had a disease
-The guppies I recently added had a disease
I moved my newt into his own pad when I added the pleco but I put some of the guppies I'd bought in the tank with them, and they definetly died (but I installed a smaller version of the same filter in his new tank and the current is even worse there, but the newt likes it). I am not sure if I should do a 100% water / gravel / ect. change but I've had water out in a bucket for a day now just incase.
Any thoughts?
