The issue: I have had several diseases affect both tanks, one right after the other, for about 2 months now and have not been able to stop the cycle. Now medicines make an enormous amout of bubbles.
I have 2 tanks -
Fish in 20 gal: 2 large goldfish, 2 small goldfish, 1 small gourami, 1 algae eater
Fish in 29 gal: rainbow shark, bala shark, 6 tetras, an algae eater, a medium leafy something (brown, 2 1/2" tall, flatish?)
The problem:
Recently, in treating a bacterial infection (bala shark (+/-6" long) becoming red tinted) and after I added meds, I got a ton of bubbles in the tank as if I had dumped in dishwashing soap. I verified this was not possible from anything I use. The bubbles have dissapated, and I even scooped some out with a large spoon, but they are still present. Now, the 20 gal goldfish tank has ick. I treated it and wala, bubbles again. In my research, one person suggested the bubbles were from a water conditioner product called Slimecoat.
What the heck is going on? Both tanks have been established for about 2 years. How do I end the cycle of diseases and are the bubbles bad? If so, how do I get rid of the bubbles?
Please HELP!
