Hey all
So I finally gave in to my jardini not eating for anything more then 2-3 prawns every 2 weeks sense he moved ( 2 months+ ago), after the move he was very stressed and also got a cause of cloudy eye which is fixed, he still would refuse to eat every day, I tried every food I could get my hands on but never feeders as I am not one to use live food much, yesterday I gave in and got some feeders from my LFS which have been feeding them to there jardini for ages so I figured his healthy and big they must be coming from a safe source, anyways I came home to find my jardini has got 6-8 white spots that seem like pimples right on the back of his body and a few little white dots ( not raised like the others) a little below his head, I still added a feeder to see if he would eat as I believe this is the main issue causing the other issues, he ate the feeder which is good but I am wondering what these white dots are? Ich? white spot?
All the water in his system is fine, 2xfx cycled, ph sitting at 7.2 temps at 25-6, My plan is to do 30-40% WC daily add green salt or rock salt? out of rock salt but have green aquarium salt not sure if it will work the same or just raise the GH?, id dose the salt 1TBS to 10G for the 100G and 50G I will do dose 1TBS to 5G does this sound about right? then increase the heat to about 29-30C (89F i believe that is)I am not sure what is wrong with him and its hard to explain with out a picture but I cant find my cousins camera and she is sleeping!!!
so was hoping some one could take a few jabs and if my method will do any good?
Also why I post here, My Red devil (7-9 inch) has always had white patches her in fins, the guy at the LFS told me she has had them sense day one, she looked happy swimming around so I got her, same story she eats nothing apart for plants like complete destroys plants and eats it, pellets of any sort = no, blood worms etc= no so unsure whats going on here also, could it be the same issue or is it possible she just does have white parts in her fins (none on the body) and is a vegetarian? I might try a feeder with her also but again not big on using live fish but she needs meat right?
they are not in the same tank also and everything water wise is prefect, no other fish has any of these issues also any help would be great!! I will get pictures asap but its fairly early here !
