	Congos with odd disease
Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003	This morning I noticed that my congos had really small white spots their fins were tattered (not from fighting), and parts of their body were red. What is this and what is the fastest way to cure it?

Size (gallons) Fish stock (species and quantity) Maintenance schedule Water readings - ammonia, nitrite, nirtate and pH Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003	They are in a ten gallon because I am cycling the tank and I was planning on breeding them. Right now there are 2 rainbows. 4 congos (3 of which are males) about ten white clouds. and a yoyo loach. The spots do not look like ich because I just got rid of ich from most of the fish and a mouth fungus on one of the rainbows. As for the water when I get a spare moment I will check it but I have been doing many water changes and my tap water is; pH 7.3 gH 8 kH 6 Please respond quick. This happened overnight.
