I noticed some red gills today on my tetras. I have 5. Two of which have one full red spot on one side. The other ones I can barely see any red so I don’t know if it’s just the underlying skin under their gills.
10 gallon with 2 sponge filters had it for over a few months.
Parameters: ph is usually at 7.5-7.6 today it was at 7.0 ; ammonia between 0-.25 (it has never changed); nitrite 0; nitrate 5-10.
I have: 5 tetras, 1 beta I bought at petco about a week ago; a mystery snail; 5 ghost shrimp; and two plecos.
I did lower the temperature from 81 to 79 because I was dealing with ick but I’m most positive it’s gone (been two weeks and no sign of it)
I’m doing a 25% water change because my tap is at 7.6.
I hope it’s not columnaris and that the ph might be affecting them considering that the ph is the most recent drastic change in the tank.
