I Have a 100 gallon fresh water aquarium that’s I’ve had running for 3 years no issues running an aqua clear 110 3 stage filter ( sponge carbon and ammonia media ) . This aquarium was home to my pride and joy shovelnose catfish almost 2 foot a jack Dempsey and pacu with no issues for years . All of a sudden I started to notice the pacu eyes became cloudy and the catfish seemed to have a slime white substance on his body . Almost over night the catfish developed large holes all over his body before passing . I cleaned the tank out switched the filter did a 60% water change . The pacu and Dempsey have been good pacu eyes even began to clear up. My wife decided to surprise me with a smaller clown loach , clown knifefish and two pelvis for the tank . She put them in yesterday within 12 hours there eyes started to cloud bodies grew slime and 24 hours later all dead included pelcos. I have tested my water and it’s not the best but nothing super crazy either. I’m not sure what to do or what to treat for someone help. Do we think melofix is the answer?!?
