Hey all,
This morning I got up and checked on the fish, and saw one cardinal tetra swimming erratically. When I say erratically, I mean he would do flips, spins, and then stop and float for a bit and then do the same thing. After a while the cardinal seemed to just chill near some plants and just hover for a bit. I looked closer and could only see a small white bump on the top of his head. Obviously I'm thinking it might be ich, but I thought ich was a bunch of little white dots. Aka the whole rolling the fish in salt look. In any case ~ I've attached a picture of the fish.
Now my water parameters are all 0 and nitrates are at about 10. GH is at about 70ppm. pH - 7.4
I feed the fish hikari micro wafers and then omega one frozen baby brine. Other tank mates are other community peaceful fish and some cory's/oto's
