Hi, hopefully this is the correct place to post this but I was looking for some help.
I have a fresh water turtle tank set up with two musk turtle hatchlings, amano and cherry shrimp, four guppies and three black corydoras. We have had the entire tank set up for approximately five months and have had the turtles and shrimp in there for four months: the guppies and corydoras were added around two months ago.
Recently I have noticed that one of the corydoras started developing paler patches of skin, noticeable against his blackish/red skin, and looked him over today to find a couple of white spots. I haven't been able to find a clear answer on what this might be and was wondering if anyone would be able to provide some insight??
I have been monitoring the pH, ammonia and nitrate levels weekly, and with the exception of a brief pH excursion, the levels have all been normal.
Many thanks.
