Colu Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Could be an injury or have a bacterial component what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get beneficial effect or you can catappa x it's a liquid extract of Indian almond leaves and dose that if you notice any Reddening were the white patch is or it gets bigger then I would do a course of kanaplex or maracyn2 which every one is more readily available @Tan Tran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Have you introduced any new fish to this tank recently that could have bought in disease @Tan Tran Edited May 30 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan Tran Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 I just introduced 2 mystery snails to the tank. I just order india almond leafs like you recommended so do you think the white spikes are parasites or something? And can it be treated with the leafs or maracyns? I have aquarium salt and methylene blue for dipping method but not sure if I should use it to treat the fishes (I never tried it before). And should I separate those fish to a quarantine bucket and treat or I can treat them with maracyn in the tank? (I have snails and a bamboo shrimp so I am not sure if the medication is safe for them) @Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
