over the last 2 weeks i have noticed that my oscars have these white spots appear but it doesnt look like white spot disease, the smaller oscar had them but they all healed up but the bigger one still has them. im wondering if its where they are jumping and hitting the lid?
first i did actually think it was white spot disease so treated it with waterlife - protozin (whitespot treatment). had no luck so i left it a few days and tried melfix, the affected areas would always heal but come back somewhere else. so then i started to wonder if it was some sort of parasite disease and tried aquarium salt with melafix and raised the temp to 85f (77f was there normal temp). so thats where ive got to now but im starting to wonder weather its just injury's from jumping around or hole in the head? ....... can anyone help me?
ive done water tests and ph tests and everything is fine, i keep the water clean but still i cant get rid of this. help would be much appreciated, glen.
