Ok, I'm partially responsible for a red devil/midas ciclid cross at work, we lovingly call Rocky. Anyway, Rocky is alone in his tank, I checked his water parameters today:
ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrates: just over 20.
Changed his water anyway, because it had been three weeks.
Anyway, Rocky has had ich problems in the past, but we licked 'em thanks to the help on this board, and getting him a bigger tank.
Now, he as these little clear bubble looking things in a line on his jaw line on one side, and on the back of one pectoral fin. He seems fine, but the "hump" on his head is markedly smaller...which happens when he's stressed we noticed. They are small little bubbles, smaller than a pencil eraser, probably about 10 in all on his face and fin. Any word on what this stuff might be?
Thanks!
