up the temps about 5 degs gradually... water change at a 50% rate daily but i would add some salt to the water i belive its about 1.5 tsp per gallon..

Like everyone said,water changes are the key.You said you clean the filter every week,do you clean it in tank water? Never wash it under the tap!

we washed them under the tap because the instructions said it was ok to do :S as for lotions or perfumes. no.. we only ever put out hands in when poovering and we never use lotions or anything like that :S

Sadly, the instructions given for cleaning fliter sponges is very poor.

You should always use old tank water to clean your filters in. The reason for this is that bacteria build up on your sponges, and this is what breaks down all of the fish waste in the tank. Everytime you clean your filter in tank water, you kill the bacteria which allows nitrite and ammonia to build up in your tank, this stresses the fish and starts the ball rolling for deseases.

I would feed the fish only every two to three days at the moment. Get the water tested ASAP, and maybe get some Stress Zyme to help rebuild the bacteria.

it sounds like the white stuff could be the fish shedding their mucus caused buy an irratant(sp) in the water .....get your water tested for ammonia and nitrite untill then dont feed your fish and dont clean the filter lets get some bacteria building up on it ...please dont change more than 30% of the water at one time as this can also do harm ....its hard to say exact cause without water testing results but i am thinking more towards there being amonia and nitrite in the water thus causing your problems ...once back on track you only need to clean your filter every 2 to 3 weeks in tank water giving the sponges just a couple of gd squeezes is enough to much and you will loose to much bacteria
