Looking at getting some input on what everyone thinks about what fish would be best in a 20gal outdoor tub that I plan to overwinter as well. I never done a tub before and going to try. Having a tough time deciding on what fish I want to put in there.
Summers are hot and humid with day temperatures often above 90°F (32.2°C) on average. Nights are mild to warm in the 66°F (18.9°C) to 75°F (23.9°C) range and are warmer along the coast than the interior. Winters are mild to cold, with daily highs in the 58°F (14.4°C) to 62°F (16.7°C) range, while nights are between 38°F (3.3°C) to 42°F (5.6°C) along the coast.
Appreciate your inputs!

Looks like ICH and it sometimes can be very stubborn. But you want to treat until the last signs are gone and then at least one day after the signs are gone. I did two days just to be safe when I had it. As @Colusaid...treat the whole tank as it is not just on the fish. The cysts are in the substrate as well.

Looking amazing!! Really love the natural environment.

Got the greenlight from my wife to start a outdoor tub pond. Going to use the half cut whiskey barrel with a liner. Add some plants and a small pump fountain. Don't think i will filter it but may change my mind as I go along. Still deciding on fish to add but really been thinking medaka ricefish.

Did a water change on main display tank today. Been 2 weeks since I accomplished it last. Looking good.

Would you be able to post a picture. That would help in identification.

I have had no problems with floating plants with lids. They propagate very fast and I am constantly having to remove once a week.

Yesterday I put in the last treatment. No signs of ich. 🙏 However I lost 7 Chili rasboras through the treatment. 😢
I did learn through the process which is a good thing. I find myself learning the most through personal experience.

Did a water change yesterday & today. Day 3 with no white spots. Tomorrow I will do one more w/c and dose. So far all is going well.

Sounds like you have a good plan. I just wanted to rule out water parameters. I have had cloudy water running meds before. Normally clears up after a day or two.
As far as the stuff on the bottom of the tank it looks like mulm but hard to tell in the picture.
-
Do you have a test kit? What are your water parameters? How long have you been cycling the tank? The more information you can give the better. At first look it looks like a bacteria bloom.
-
If you could post some photos it may help identify what is going on.

Did another water change and dosed again. Today did not see any white spots on the fish. 🤗 This is the 3rd day dose. I will dose again tomorrow and probably again the following day to just make sure. Lost 2 fish through the process but I don't believe it was due to ICH. More likely from the higher temp and water changes everyday. That is stressful for them.

Welcome to the forum. Wow that would have been a great experience to be at Lake Malawi. Looking forward to seeing pics.

Fluval 3.0 is a excellent high class light. I personally don't use it on my 10 gal as the nicrew is working. However, on my 38 gal I use it and love how you can customize it. Very easy to use.
I personally own fluval 3.0, nicrew, and finnex stingray. Like them all but everyone has pros and cons.
-
I would stock with cherry shrimp, chili rasboras, green or blue neon rasboras, plus a nerite snail 🐌.
-
So happy that your fish are doing better. 🤗 I appreciate you sharing, as I am battling ICH myself.

You mentioned "won't give you problems with plants". What issue are you having or have had with nicrew, finnex, and aquaneat?
I am currently using a nicrew on my 10 gallon with no issues.

Temperature has been steady at 82 degrees. Did a 6 gallon water change today and redose of ich-x. Fish seen to be handling the increased temperature and the dosing. Already have seen some white spots disappear on a few fish. So far everything is moving in the right direction.

Super stoked about my new fish on the way. I had some misfortune with chili rasboras and only have 3 to 4 left. So to ease my setback pain I ordered some different fish from a source that I trust (Aquahuna). Espei Harlequin Rasbora and Emerald Dwarf Rasbora and two nerite snails.
