I noticed that there's a white area on my Jalo's head, it's not fuzzy or anything, it's like there's just no color there and is kind of white. Is there anything to be concerned about? He's still very active and eating well, so it's even more confusing as to what it is.
1~What type of fish is afflicted?
- Cynotilapia afra Jalo Reef
2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values.
- 8.2 pH, 11 GH, 10 KH, 0 Ammonia, 0 NO2, 20ppm NO3, 80 degrees F
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up?
- 55 gallon, been up for 3 weeks.
4~What type of filtration are you using? Please give the name and number (i.e. Fluval 304) and amount of gph if known.
- Penguin 200 (200 GPH) and Emperor 280 (280 GPH)
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes?
- 12 juvenile mbuna cichlids, 6 Pseudotropheus Saulosi and 6 Cynotilapia afra Jalo Reef. Max size is 2 inches, minimum is 1 inch.
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? How often do you do this? How much water do you remove at a time?
- Every Saturday I change 50% of the water and vaccuum/mic around my PFS, sometimes every 5 days.
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them?
- 3 weeks, drip acclimated them when they first arrived.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.?
- No, everything was set up perfectly before I placed them all into the tank.
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently?
- New Life Spectrum cichlid pellets with a cucumber treat every 1-2 weeks, haven't changed their diet at all.
