Ich ?

[ftrudeau]

Greetings, those Ich look like this ? One of my algue eater is dying in the bottom of my Aquarium as I write this message, and I manage to take pictures with my crappy webcam. Just wanted to know if someone could tell me what the heck is going on in my aquarium =( The pics quality are not very nice, but this is the best I can do.

See for yourself

Oh, and if it can help someone ...


1. No idea about ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH, but temp. is about 76F now.
2. Symptoms are : fish dead (algue eater), with small white 'rocks' on their body,
tails are touched most, and one have a weird 'glue' on its eye.
3. About water change, this is a new aquarium (10 Gal).
4. Petshop girl gave me 'Mycopur'. It says 'against fungal infections, skin and gill flukes'. I also added 2 drops of methylene blue, thinking it would help somehow ...
5. 2 convicts + 1 neon
6. 10 US Gal
7. Experience ? 1 year ... but never had problems before.

I do regular 1/3 water change every 2 weeks in my other tank, never had problems.

Again, thanks for any help.

Looks like white spot....

You need a white spot treatment. I would also raise the temp if the fish can take it, as above 28C white spot doesn't survive very well...

Its normally caused by large temp fluctuations/stress or poor water quality/stress..

Try and get some water readings for the following... ph, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia

Good luck mate...

P.S.. i take it this new tank is fully cycled?
