Hello Iāve had my 15 gallon set up since August and Iāve posted a couple of times. Itās beautiful and we are loving it. I thankfully have not had any real issues. My pH is always about 7.6, ammonia 0, nitite 0 and nitrates were up a bit to .10. Then yesterday I discovered one of my otos āPaulā had a fuzzy white spot behind his eye. I thought it had looked funny a few days prior but he moved. I quarantined him last night in a tank using some of the sponge filter from the established tank. I was afraid I killed him with the stress of catching and moving. I cleaned the established really well and found an algae wafer that had slipped under the bubble wand and had gotten gross. So I donāt know if that was the culprit or not. Anyway I dosed Paul with API Pima fix last night and again today. I actually thought he was dead this morning but I came back to scoop him out and he had moved. Then again when I came home he was on his side and I went to scoop him and he shot off. Tonight he has moved around several times tonight and finally looks a little more life like. But I am unsure what I should do next. His water is a bit cloudy. I had put in prime and some aquaLife activate. His fuzzy growth on the right is bigger and is now growing a spot on the left. Pictures below. Do you all think it is fungal or bacterial. Iāve seen some things on internet that talked about columnarius and treating with kanaplex. Iāve also seen mention of of giving a ābathā in methylene blue. What do you guys think? And should I do a water change daily?
