Saltinthedesert Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have three wild caught king tiger pleco’s that had a rough start/introduction to the tank, all three are covered in white spots that showed up overnight. It didn’t progress from a few white spots like it normally does so I’m not sure what I’m facing. Ich X is not working, I’ve been following Cory’s normal routine of water changing 20-30% every day and then redosing 5 ml per 10 gall. I did one dose of the med trio this last Monday as well. They are all “swimming in place” pretty constantly which I assume is also a reflection of their discomfort. do I need to increase the dosage on the Ich X? temp- 82° gH - 7 kh - 4 ph - 7.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltinthedesert Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 I saw something dashing around the tank and fired up the microscope. Not sure what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
