so finally my new tank is cycled, took 5 weeks but i believe the fishless cycle is awsome, what a buzz it is when you see it all coming together. Anyway i added the fish from my old to new tank and they seem fine, so the next day i went and bought a dwarf gouramis, and an orange spotted plec, i didnt see this in the shop but as i got them home i noticed the plec had a white patch next to his right fin, its a bout the size of the 0 on your keyboard, it looks like a wound that has healed up, there is no redness, also the gouramis has a tiny hole in his tail fin, much like a pin hole, so before i added both fish to the tank i placed them in my old tank which is still set up, the tank has been set up for two years and is regulary cleaned, ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrate is 10, both fish seem to be fine, they are swimming round fine, both eating and active, i have been treating them with melafix for two days, any ideas what they could be? hope you can help me
