really shiny white spots on tiger barbs

[ninjaseal]

there like needle like on my tiger barbs

on the regular tigers and on the albinos...im not sure if this is ich or how they are...

it looks very shiny...

if it is ich

i raise the temp and add salt?

if so wat kind of salt?

i searched for pics of ich on tiger barbsss.. and ich on fish itself..im not sure if this is an early stage of ich...or its just be being over cautious...

if u have tiger barbs can u look on them n see if they have little white needle like shiny dots on them by the top fin in there copperish color?

it is probably fungus, and it was most likely caused by the overcrouding in the tank.
it dosnet matter how many filters you have, fish need room to swim, and the more fish you put in there the more they are stressed, making them suseptable to diseases

that might be velvet then.

thats not the problem

wat is velvet?

That actually looks liek the normal irridescence on tiger barbs. Mine show patches of very shiny areas and have always done so. I don't think yours are diseased.

yea now that i looked at it better it looks like the irridescent parts that are easy to see on my black skirts
and once all of your fish are full size, if they get that big, they wont have as much room to swim as you think they will

velvet is a goldish dust on the fish's scales
