![]() | Cardinal w/ red spots. |
entkitty![]() ![]() ![]() Fish Addict Posts: 520 Kudos: 129 Votes: 1 Registered: 30-Apr-2003 ![]() ![]() | My cardinal that I think was injured (gash on his side) has now developed red spots (looks like red ick) on top of his back. It’s very strange, I have never seen this nor have heard of such a thing, anyone know anything about this? He is not scratching or anything else. Water test results: ph-8.0 NO2 - 0 NO3 -5 Amm - 0 KH - 161.1 (9dkh) GH - 35.8 (2 dgh) Temp - 78-80 degrees weekly water change of 21 gals lots of plants and gravel/sand mix bottom. Tank has been set up for 2 years now. I did a 50% water change two weeks ago, and last night another 50% after noticing the red spots. See my profile (link below) for fish and setup. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. |

You could try treating with both Primafix and Melafix naturally these are compatable just follow the instructions as directed. As I stated it is a wild guess. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith ![]() ![]() Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
