Regular Member Fish_Fanatic Posted November 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 This morning I woke up and took a look at my fish. I noticed a couple small, slightly fuzzy white spots on both of them. It doesn't look like ick, I've dealt with that a few times. I'm thinking it could be fungal. I'm really not sure where they could have picked this up though. I haven't introduced anything new into the tank. The last thing I put in there is a marimo moss ball, but that was at least 4 months ago. Where does something like this start? Just to give you a rough idea of my setup, it's a 38 gallon, running 440 gph filtration, a bubble wall that just runs during the day, and 2 goldfish (one ryukin, one moor). I'm going to go do a water change now, and then probably treat with pimafix, but I'd still like to know why they got this, if anyone has any input?? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Captain Findus Goldfish Posted November 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have a couple of my fish prone to these fuzzy spots on their tails. I used to treat with salt every time, but now I just let them be and they just go as fast as they came - usually in a few days. Just make sure you scrub down the walls and floor well - that is usually where they pick up those nasties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member enesta Posted November 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've got the same thing on my black moor right now. Not sure what the heck that is considering the water is pristine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member johann_pond Posted November 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 Best thing is to post the water paremeters and pictures if possible. Then we can better help with your situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Fish_Fanatic Posted November 29, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well, I just did a good water change, and doesed with pimafix. jpond, I don't know the water params right now... my test kit expired, and I can't quite afford a new one right now (those liquid tests are expensive!!), but the water should be in ideal conditions.. I'll take a sample into work and test it there, but that won't be for another few days. Hopefully this just clears up really quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
