Hello From Southern England

Looking at the piccies i am not sure its whitespot was she flicking at all it could just be a small tumor has the one left any spots on it at all ?

That's the smaller one with the spots - presumably the male? It's not acting as if it's irritating it at all, no brushing against anything, swimming funny or at angles. with the spot on the fin, there is now another on it's right side rear orange section. looks slightly raised too. I don't have a QT, but guess this might be next - along with ozone and UV. These spots I don't think appeared until I added the inverts from another different shop, the feather dusters and the current cleaner shrimp.

It Does not sound like whitespot to me if you only have 2 but I do not know what it is you would normaly expect to see a good 10 - 20 small white dots and the fish flicking as its trying to itch them I would feed him up on Garlic Brine Shrimp maybe trest the food with some lipsome spray and see what happens.

That is of course if it is not just sand that has been picked up in the mucus on his skin which i doubt it is.

Thanks for the advise, i'll look it up and try and get a proper magnifying glass to try and see it properly as well.

Also my clowns sometimes nip at each other hard enough to leave marks. These often look like little white spots.

Ok, now she's out of the picture then maybe it'll clear up.

Still got the spot on the fin, but now another for the last 4 days. Any ideas anyone?

Clown @ LFS for removal of suspected fungal spots, so took away a blue cheeked goby, marked angel and another replacement cleaner shrimp. Here's to hoping the LFS can find another mate, and it survives. Going to attempt first water change of 10% next few days, got a few cheap bits to do that, 110L bin, sunsun power head and borrowing heater (one of two) from sump. will see how that goes over next few days... need to salt it first.

Cool was wondering how things where going.

Good luck with the water change. The first few times can be a nightmare but you soon figure out a routine for it and it gets easier. Don't forget to let the salt mix for at least 24 hours before adding it to your tank.

And needs to be approx 20/25% not 10%

I love that goby, the neon cheeks!

10% and 100L are inconsistent as 20% of 500L is 100L - I'd guess he meant a full bin so 20%
