History: fish was ordered from LiveAquaria march 2023. Qt with copper and prazipro 45 days before going into DT and have had no problems…. Until last week. Noticed a few white spots on the fish. They were faint then disappeared. I haven’t seen them again until just now. This morning I looked at the tank and didn’t notice anything and then two hours later the below photo was taken. I’ve watched the fish and notice occasional scratching against sand and rock but he’s swimming normal and eating nori.
Parameters: tested last weekend before 1/4 tank capacity water change. Approximately 25gal in Waterbox Marinex 90
temp-78
Salinity-1.026
PH-8.2
Alk-7.3
Calc-500?1st time with this Hanna checker
Nitrate-12.3
Phosphate-.85
The tank is about 2yrs old and I have 2 clowns, a damsel, sand sifting goby and 1 Banggai Cardinal. I also have 2 rbta and a torch that could possibly sting it,idk?
The pictures aren’t awesome but I don’t see any protrusion from the fish at the white spots just the discoloration. No spots on any other fish and no change in any fish behavior.
Thoughts? Is this Ich? I don’t think it’s flukes either but I’m no pro. I know I need to lower nitrates and phosphates also, or at least I think I should.
