My Ocellaris clownfish has been having white spots on her and I suspect its ich or brooklynella. She is in a 20 gallon tank with a fire fish goby and hermit crabs. The tank is a fowlr and is about 3 months old. The clownfish was added about 1 1/2 month ago. She is somewhat active right now and eats fine but her fins are a bit clamped.
My parameters are
pH: 8.2-8.4
SG: 1.025
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitirite: .25-.50 ppm (been having a problem with nitrites after I dosed the tank with Ridich, might've killed the bacteria that converts nitrite to nitrate)
Nitrate: 5 ppm
I dosed the tank with Rid Ich 2 weeks ago to kill what I suspected to be Brooklynella and it worked. My clownfish was disease free until these white spots showed up. It doesn't look like what she had before. The goby looks perfectly fine except for clamped fins because of the nitrites ( I do small water changes everyday). What is this and what can I do to treat it
Pics ( tried to take pictures the best I can)
