Hi.
Ive noticed today that my red cap oranda has developed a red spot on his side.
I'm wondering what it is? The tank is cycling but today's parameters were: 0 ammonia, 1.0 Nitrite and 5 Nitrates. Using Api master kit.
I've just done a big water change to reduce the nitrite which has been spiking for about a week and a half.
The tank is 26g with 2 fancy goldfish in it.
What can I do to remedy this or will the spot go?
Do you think it's an illness or is it the fish changing colour?
BTW I've looked after the tank by treating the water with ApI Stress coat and done regular water changes.
Thanks.
