need help identify skin disorder on 333
Posted: 21 Apr 2010, 09:55
Hi guys, cant believe this is happening.
I moved a pair of 333 in a new tank. This tank was matured first and I am using filter with active bio media (from old tank). Last water parameter check was 0 ammonia 0 nitrite.
Approximately 2-3 days after I moved them into this tank, I notice skin discoloration and it kinda ugly.
The male has skin discoloration around its belly and the female has some white patches with some dots. I thought the dots are ich but i am not too sure.
I have moved them from that tank into 2 ft hospital tank and currently treating them with pimafix 5 ml a day. The treatment has been going for 3 days now. This tank is run by a sponge filter.
