Orange spots all over?

[jonraho]

Hey hey,

So recently I got a group of juv Rasbora's to add to my tank. about 2 days later i noticed that they were starting to get covered in orange spots all over, really small spots or flakes. No idea what is wrong with them, they are eating and are really active.

Community tank with Zebra Danios, Cherry Shrimps, Endlers, whiptail/twig catfish and harlequin rasbora.

Water parameters are good, PH soft, heavily planted tank.

Any help on what to do and what this outbreak is?

Thanks

Had a closer look as I took out one, looks like orange dust on the fist

Any flashing? Could it be velvet?

Not really sure if it flashes or not, literally looks like someone dipped the fish in glitter so to speak -_-

But they didn't have any of these when i first got them

Sorry I meant is the fish rubbing sides or gills along gravel or rocks for the flashing. Gold I would suspect velvet, ich I had and I get more white dots. Basically external parasites anyway.

Some treatment information included.

No they dont flash, but treating them now in a separate tank. Seems to be velvet.

Thanks!

Velvet fits the bill from the picture.

Good news. Can I ask what you are trying? Just curious.
