Do the rays get parasites? I'm a :screwy: and appreciate the knowledge. I work mad hours during the day and come home to tend the fish for about a half hour and then ask you questions. Anyhow...I have a leichardi that I believe had a parasite in its fin. It was only one white-ish bump and was in-bedded into the fin(tried the tweezers). I'm treating him in a separate tank and just now was watching one of the rays swim up the front of the tank and noticed a similar bump on the bottom side of his disc. What could it be? Can I use the same treatment on both fish(parasite clear)? How worried should I be? Thank you so much...
 
It looks like a little pimple. David...you always come through! 2 more q's though...Is 20 percent once a week not enough? And if I salt the tank and do a 20 percent water change a few days later...should I add more salt for the whole tank or just the 20 percent?
 
Aged water? Whats that like free standing water saved in a bucket? Let me have your paypal address so I can send you some thank you money.
