ok I have my 150 stocked with 8" Trimac, 6" Red devil, 3" Pink Convict
Ammo 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 ph 7.0 temp 78-79
A few days back I noticed some black marks on the red devils two little belley fins. It was on the tips of the fins. Looks kinda like the tips were dipped into dirty car oil. No fuzz or any cuts, just look like they have changed colour to black. Then I have noticed the next day there were some on his tail fin and the tip of his top fin. Again this morning i have noticed that they are in a few other spots, like one little mark on his forehead now. There is some aggression in my tank, like the trimac is the boss and chases the other two around but it's not that serious like no one has any injuries and there has not been any jaw locking. Just the occasional chasing. Fish are being fed Omega 1 pellets, hikari pellets, and occasionally some frozen krill. The fish seems to be fine, like he eats and swims normally. WC are once a week about 25% although my tanks are always in prime condition and water problems have never been an issue with me. I keep many cichlids including a 135 gallon discus tank and I have never had anything but ick with my fish, so I have no idea what this could be. I usually have a digital camera but its MIA right now and I can't get a pic. Anyone have any idea of what this could be???
