Curious why you ask? It’s not really possible. I have almost 1500 gallons of water and use a drip for most of it. I mostly keep SA cichlids too.You wanna try raising your PH?
previously i had blood parrots with similar white spots that look fungal, then slime started coming off... this is in a comm tank and only they were affected. But they will always appear fine after a WC. It happens to an extent that i had to increase WC from weekly to 3-4 days, anything longer than 4-5 days and they ended up dead or almost dead. They eventually diedCurious why you ask? It’s not really possible. I have almost 1500 gallons of water and use a drip for most of it. I mostly keep SA cichlids too.

i tested my water and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate was fine during that time. Suddenly i day i decided to test PH i realised my PH drop from about 7+ at 1st day to about 6 on 4th day.
I then buffer PH with 10lbs of coral chips and after testing it remains at 7+.
I added another 3 king kong parrots and so far they are still doing fine.
so i was wondering could it be a PH problem... either too high or too low
