Ich, or just picked on?

Hi,

I have 2 Rosy Tetra's, 2 Bleeding heart tetra's, 5 zebra danio's, and 1 German blue ram.

One of my rosies has a few white cotton spots hanging off of him. I've dealt with ich before, and it spread somewhat fast. But this little guy has looked like this for a week now, not really getting worse. Acting normal. I notice that his tail is a stub too. All other fins seem fine. As if a fish in there is nibbling him?

Could it be the Ram? I notice her being very territorial. When the tetra's get within 2 inches of her, she'll chase them until they outswim her.

COtton spots sound like fungus, and I would treat immediatley. He could be getting bitten, and then it is getting infected. What is your water changing schedule? What are your water parameters?

Poor right now. This link: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/help-after-testing-needed-137376.html#post1187806 shows my problems, and my journey to get back on track.

I'm currently improving my aquariums conditions after the loss of a pleco. Orange/Black algae, and just bad levels.

Ok, well you can try some Melafix/Pimafix or Kordon's Ich-Attack, (treats more than ich). Neither one of them will kill the good bacteria you are trying to grow.
