Hello,
I recently returned to this hobby after a 7 year break. I'm excited to return but am running into trouble.
I need help diagnosing this disease. I have a newly cycled tank that's about 2 months old and stocked this tank lightly about 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunatly there was some hidden ich on the fish from my lfs so I am trying to treat this using the heat method first. I just noticed this yesterday and started raising the temp slowly last night. However this morning I also saw this, and have never seen it before. It looks like some kind of film on their body dulling their shiny scales. This is on 2 of the 3 harlequins and only on one side of their body.
Tank info:
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
