1st, tank stats:
temp: 78
salinity: 1.022
ph: 8.3
ammonia: 0ppm
nitrite: 0ppm
nitrate: 20ppm
2nd, issues: I guess I'll just go by timeline. 2 days ago I noticed my little burma trigger pulling some... interesting... manuvers. He was kinda flipping himself into a rock, like ricocheting off it and darting upwards. I noticed he had some redness where he was hitting it, it looked almost like a rash, but the rock was red and he seemed ok after he stopped, and since there was no desease that fit that discription in my noob guide, I didnt worry about it and assumed it was just rock residue on him. Now the trigger is not active and is not frolicking around like usual, I actualy thought I mushed him into the ground when I moved a rock the other day cuz I didnt see him until the next morning. Today again, hes not out and I cant find him (last time he was gone I found him chillin in a little rock pocket.) Also today i notice all 3 active fish have a little white dot (2 have it on their shoulder area, one has it right above its eye) and I fear this is marine ich? Its only 1 dot so far, but i'd like to treat it now if it is infact something I need to be treating.
Any idea what might be up with the little trigger? He was fine and dandy up until 2 days ago.
