hi all, i have a question i noticed one of my cardinal tetras his tail is what appears to be nipped and there are 2 white fluffy dots near the end of his body (just before the tail starts) is this ich or something else, the other fish are not showing signs. Also the tank has a divider houseing some fry so not sure how well medication will go with the fry. They are about 2 month old.

Sounds bacterial, the fry will be fine if you use an anti bac med.

How big are the white spots are they the size of a grain of salt or bigger.

I would treat them as bacterial then.
Good luck. |
