For about a month I've been having a problem with a white color spots on one of my clown loaches. Its been spreading to one side of his body to the other. The clown far as behavior has been fine, except for the size. Its about a 2 inch smaller and weight is also down than the rest (avg 5-8 inches for the other loaches)
Tank is a 55gal thats been setup for over 3 years. Parameters: PH 7.0-7.2, temp 79-80F, nitrites/nitrates 0, all from jungle test strips other than a digital temp prob. Right now there 6 clowns and 7 giant danios in the tank. A 25% water changed once a week and a gravel vacuum when build-up starts to show. Food is flakes giving twice a day, nothing in the tank has changed except for a powerhead. None of the other clowns / danios have this problem. But I did loose two danios about a week ago for some unknown reason?
I've tried Jungle Fungus Treatment (twice), Jungle Parasite Treatment (once), and Melafix (twice). None seem to have any effect.
