Hello. My BEC is now sick, I guess. He’s around 10”, in 36*18*18 inch tank with external filter.
His tankmate is 4 Crossocheilus reticulatus.
Diets are Hikari algae wafer, hikari growth sinking pellet and raw cucumber.
His symptoms are : for a month, he’s developing white dot... grey? All over his body. Now he stopped eating cucumber and maybe all pellets. He’s still quiet aggressive and try to attack my hand through the glass as always.
The cause might be that I introduce new group of fishes into the tank. First Neon Tetra... all dead. Then guppies which died quickly in next few days along with all my old guppies, leaving only 4 Crossocheilus reticulatus and BEC. After that, he seems to have those dots and now... he look like this :
Is it fungus? Bacteria? I change water almost every 3 days now and don’t want to risk using meds recklessly. Will external filter with UV help? Salt? Thank you very much.
