I have a 3.5 gallon tank with 3 platies. It has been fully cycled for 2 months now and water parameters are:
Amonia 0.0
nitrite 0.0
nitrate 0.5
ph 7.0
I will be upgrading the tank soon to a much larger set up as my female is pregnant. I have live plants in the aquarium and noticed my fish have been doing flips and flicking themselves on the plants. The pregnant female has a little white beard that was never there before and now my male has a little white spot on his face.
My first thought was ick so I did a complete water change. I keep cycled water in gallon jugs on standby and I washed out all the gravel. I've been treating with ich guard and melafix for a week now with no changes. Aside from the flicking the fish are active and bright. No inflamed gills, no off coloring, no stringy poops aside from the poop streamers my fish usually swim around with.
