I have a 38 gallon, freshwater, tank. I've had this particular set-up for about 2 months, and the water seems stable. I perform weekly water changes, and my fish seemed healthy. I had :
1 upside-down catfish
1 Green Cory catfish
1 Oriental algae eater
1 Male betta
1 female betta
1 Pleco
2 otocinculus
However, my problem started within the past few days. I had previously fed my fish algae wafers and a rather generic betta food. I bought some bloodworms to supplement them. Within less than 48 hours, my pleco, bettas, upside-down catfish, and one otocinculus began losing their color, and their entire face to their gills were completely white. Only 6 hours after that, and they began having what looked like a white moss grow on them. None of the fish would swim, and my betta, Zander, wouldn't leave the top of the tank or really even move at all. He seemed to barely be alive. Only 4 hours later, all of the fish that lost their color died. What happened?
