Hi Everyone,
Hoping someone can help identify what is going on with these swordtails.
I noticed about 2-3 weeks ago a white patch on top of one of the swordtails in my tank (almost looks like scales have fallen off). I figured it may have just damaged scales from bumping into the rocks. But over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed the white patch getting larger (see pictures below). What is more concerning is that other fish (2 or 3) are now showing similar symptoms but on the body or tail. Last week, I began treating the whole tank with Melafix and Pimafix with no results (in fact, it looks like its gotten worse).
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 20
pH - 7.2
Does anyone know what this could be or how to treat it?
Thanks for your help.
