One of my rams got a white spot on his head recently. I moved him to a quarantine tank that i set up with water and media from the main tank so I could watch him and the next day he also got ich also. Poor guy does not look happy. Any help on what the white spot on his head is and possible treatments? Kind of looks like the start of hole in the head from pictures I looked at.
I added a picture of the tank he was in also it is a 135g with a fluval fx5 and a diy canister that does 150 gph. Also in the tank are 10 zebra danios, 3 other german rams, 3 juli corys, 3 peppered corys, 2 true sae, 6 lampeye tetras. I was going get more fish when I noticed the ram had the white spot and figured I'd better figure out whats going on 1st.
The tank has live plants, some rocks and driftwood and aquasoil substrate. The tank has been set up for about 2 months since being moved. When it was moved it was drained for about 2 hours then refilled. The danios were in the tank for almost 3 weeks while everything else was in another tank. So its been over a moth with everthing in the tank. It is fully cycled 0 ammonia 0 nitrites 5 nitrates. I do weekly pwc between 25 and 50%.
Thanks for any help or advice
