SteveIsntSorry Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I have tried on other forums and didn't get much feed back. I have 2 black moor in a cycled 38gal tank. 72*F Ph 7.4, nh3/4 0ppm, no2 0ppm, no3 10ppm. The tank has 1 anubias, 1 java fern, and 2 large anacharis plants. The little guy had 2 little spots on his tail. I tried to get a picture sorry for poor quality but I tried to zoom in. I assumed it's ich, and treated the whole tank with api ich guard 2 times. Fish HATED it. Waited a few days and nothing happened. Decided it may not be ich and fungus instead. Water change and a few more days I dosed melafix and pimafix for 9 days (water changed after 7) and it got worse and now the larger fish is showing signs. Any idea what this might be? Thank you for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and never move but they have got more bold over time (2 months). The large one is developing them in the same location.

Ben Ellison Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well I don't think it's ich. The cycle of ich I'd the cyst would run their course fall off to the substrate then go back into the water as the parasite hunting for a host. The cysts would then be in a different spot. That being said have you tried the med trio? I feel it will handle most everything there is out there common in the fish world. I'm thinking it's more likely a fungus or bacterial issue.
