Yes, it sounds like you are most of the way through the cycle. Keep monitoring
and do water changes to control the levels. Streaks in the tail is an indication
of poor water quality (usually). White pooh could indeed be a bacterial
infection
have you got any medicated food? Medigold?

I didn't see medigold around here, I did see that I could order it online? I saw some medicated foot at the LFS by Jungle, for bacterial infections. Also, my two fish are chasing each other like mad. They take turns, but as far as I can see they are not nipping or anything? Have you heard anything about the jungle brand, or will it hurt to go ahead and purchase the medigold online and wait?


Thanks!
