Some of our "teenaged" mollies have been developing little red spots on their gills, either one side or both. The spot ranges in size from 1-2 mm and may or may not disappear over time. We had lost a few fish several weeks ago, but so far the others have been ok.
We haven't added new fish/plants for the past year (though our Mommy Mollie had 2 litters of fish this past year). We've been needing to watch our Ph as it falls fairly often. Usu Ammonia/Nitrites are ok, but now and then will spike. Right now they are all almost all perfect (Ph 6.6, Ammonia .25, Nitrite .25). We still need to monitor, though. We top off with treated water almost daily, 1 gallon to a 44 gallon tank (never all at once after a water change).
Can you tell me what is happening with our fish, if they may need treatment or if we need to do something with our water? We have an African frog, loaches and a few varieties of catfish, as well as Plecs, Gouramis & Tetras, so want to be sure any antibiotic we add would not hurt or kill these other varieties.
Thank you!
