Info needed please
My new guy is about 4 days in to his Q period and I noticed some small spots on the black part only. Very hard to tell if this is natural coloration on the scales, they almost look blue at times, other times white. Fish is about 2.5" long so very hard to get a good detailed picture.
I am not familiar with these species so maybe someone that knows them well can answer if they normaling have these spots on the black as color variations.
If it is Ich I know they are sensitive to copper, so what is the treatment for these little guys? he is in Q with 3 Chalk Basselts so what ever treatment I do needs to be safe for all resisdents.
All fish had a 5 min freshwater dip when they came in. Tank is a 20G filled with water from my last display water change. I do 50% changes every other day. SG 1.024, all others at 0, temp 78
Thanks in advance
