Neither of those look like this. It seems to have lessened overnight, too.

I think the male is on his way out.

I am dealing with the same exact issue wright now. Been treating with Maracide for a week with no improvement. The fish lost the white spots and 2 days later got eaven more on them. I have the temp at 86 and aded 2 tbs of aquarium salt per gallon. Nothing seems to work, already lost 6 fish. My water par are good and plenty of water changes. Going to get different meds tomorrow, coppersafe or clout depending of what my lfs has available. What a nightmare ! Keep you posted, Good Luck !

Thanks, you too. I've had to euthanize 2 tiger barbs. I feel like my male cichlid is getting close, but he has been struggling for a very long time, so I have no clue if he is going to pull through or not. No matter what, I don't want to euthanize him because there might be a chance he will pull through.

I don't think he'll make it through the night. The female mimics him, but a full 24 hours later. If he doesn't make it, I'll have to euthanize her. He is one tough fish, I'll give him that.

:tombstone:, big guy. I have never seen a stronger fish. He probably lasted 18 hours of laying on his side :shakehead:. He is the bottom fish in my avatar, but if you want to get a better picture, click here. The first few pictures actually are his parents.

The female seems to be on her way too. If she keeps following suit, I can't see keeping her alive to struggle as humane at all.

I euthanized everybody except the three cories, the only ones who don't look really bad. It's odd, because the cories are the only ones without symptoms.

I did all I could. I'm just so mad. The ok part is that my mom offered to pay for new fish because she sees all the work I put in, and felt bad.
