white spot

I’ve recently had an outbreak of ich in my live bearers tank. I don’t know how, they get regular water changes every week,sometimes twice a week 25 to 50% and I’ve gone and purchased Aqua one multi cure, see below. It just looks so noxious. I’m doing a slow drip acclimation with it mixed in and...

Hi everyone, I'll go into details to hopefully give a clear picture of what's going on and will write a summary near the end, for those who don't want to read it all. Around 2 weeks ago I suddenly noticed a white patch on the head of one of my BHT's. It must've appeared suddenly and not slowly...

Hi all, Help required please. I just noticed that one of my black mollies has some white bumps on it's top lip area. Is this white spot? Photo's attached and youtube video link here Kind regards, Mark.

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new at fish keeping I set up my tank last October and then hadn't put anything new in for a good long time until about 10 days ago when I added a Betta, 2 new plants and a piece of drift wood. I just noticed that my black neon tetra has a white spot on his head and...

I cleaned their tank yesterday and all seemed fine. But I wake up this morning and the newest fish to the family has white spots on her. It’s on her belly and some near her face. Though her colors are little different from the others I’ve never noticed the white on her before. I’m new to owning...

Hi! I have noticed that one of my platies has a white spot on her nose, she didn't have it before. Should I be worried? A real beginner! Thank you

Okay, so I’ve had a small 5 gal with glofish for years, and I upgraded to a 15 not too long ago. Maybe a month ish? I let it sit with plants and filter for a while before acclimating the 4 glo tetras I had into it (plus some snails), and about a week ago I got another tetra and 5 cory cats. I...

I am getting very annoyed and rather disheartened now. 150L ammonia 0ppm nitr 0ppm pH 7.5 ish temp 30 degrees Celsius live plants, bogwood and resin rocks, all in gravel (changing into sand next week). Part of the plants and decor removed to make vacuuming easier without having to disturb...

Hi (disclaimer: English is not my first language and I am new to the fish hobby so please go easy on me) I currently own a 150L tank with tropical fish. It is still a work in progress thing but I am taking it slowly as until about 3 months ago I truly believed I can't keep fish alive. Inside...

Hello! I posted a couple months ago about a white spot growing on my betta. It seems to have gotten bigger and now it looks like there’s a brownish red bump in the middle of the white. It looks like it must be hurting him :( He’s in a 3.5 gal heated and filtered tank, water temp is usually 82...

Hi, As mentioned in the title of this thread, I’m wondering if my platy has ich. About a week ago I noticed that the fish didn’t seem to be pooping, and seemed very lethargic. I fasted the tank for a day and fed peas afterwards. Then she seemed to perk up. Then, unfortunately she started to...

I’ve had guppies on and off. I recently purchased this one and she was fine in when I got her. Few days later she developed this big white spot on her tail, both side. She moves around fine and all the other fish are clear. I wonder if it’s just something that happens or if I need to do...

Today as I went to do my water change (that I was was behind on, I know I'm a terrible fish owner for doing so but I only feed him about 3 times a week so I figured it was fine) I noticed a white spot on the side of my betta's head. It must be newish because I haven't seen it before. I can't...
