Hi, all.
I have a 30 gallon community fresh water tank. PH leves are fine, temp, etc...

Two of my fish have developed white patches. It's not fuzzy looking, and they aren't small white dots.

Does anyone have any idea what this may be? Currently, appetite and movement is fine.

We had a couple fish pass away, which ended up with small white patches. I thought ich, or fungal, but doesn't look as such.

Most livebearers like these are susceptible to bacteria and fungus issues. Add or change carbon and Add aquarium sallt or Epsom salt (Not sea salt) at one teaspoon per 10 gallons. Api Melafix should also help
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
