Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue that I've never really seen discussed. Bascially if a fish tears a fin, it will more likely than not begin to exhibit fin rot.
Also, some of the older fish develop raised white fuzzy looking spots (not ich for sure) that I treat with salt and they disappear.
I'm guessing there's a high bacterial load of some sort because younger fish are healthy and active.
I water change once a weeek 30-50% depending on nitrates.
My paramenters are 0-0-20 (40 nitrate sometimes), but that's when I do water changes.
Any advice?
