Jedi Kaleo Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Water Parameters: Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 0 ppm Kh: 80 ppm Gh: 180ppm Ph: 7.0 Temp: 78 degrees Noticed this white spot on the head on one of my ottos this morning. What do y’all think this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Burkhalter Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Looks like an injury to me. I would keep the water very clean and it could heal up itself. If you notice it getting worse then I would say order some of the med trio from aquariumcoop. The maracyn and ich x is what you would want. The maracyn is for bacterial infections and the ich x is for fungal infections. Might be a good idea to go ahead and get it just in case it gets worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
