Hi, I am new here, and 2 weeks ago I started to notice that both my spotted gars (10"-11") started showing weird dots on them. I have had ich before in other tanks and this does not look like ich to me even though it seems close. Each one has about 3-5 of these dots on them. And they swim and act and eat noraml. No scratching.
2 weeks ago I took both gars out of the main tank and put them in a 30 gallon tank and started salt treatment at 1.006 salinity and pick up temp. at 87 degrees. Also put sea salt in main tank that tank is fine. And then 6 days in salt treatment saw that the 30 gallon tank ph was to high so did a water chage didn't put salt back but put in Mardel copper safe seeing that it says treats external infections. and still no change they still act fine.
How long to you think cooper safe needs to fully work?
Or should I go back to salt? if so how much?
