	Is there an illness that affects everything but loaches
mAd Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 24 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Jul-2002	Is there an illness that affects everything but loaches because i have lost all my fish except my loaches and they look to be doing well. I have tested my water at home and at a store and all seemed fine. I decided after all my fish except the loaches died to leave the tank for a month and then add new fish. I added a new fish yesterday and he is looking sick has a small whitish spot on his side. Now i know that sounds like white spot but if it is why do my loaches not have it and why did it rip through my other fish like crazy.

I have no personal record of this but that does not say it could not happen. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
