OK... So I have this 50l heavily planted tank that has had a pair of rams in it for about 2 months now. There are also 4 amano shrimp who have become firm favourites of mine once they gained confidence to be out and about with the rams. This afternoon I bought some ember tetras to provide a school as a contrast to the showy rams, and I floated the bag and inspected them very carefully, and found nothing. Then, the day after adding them into the tank (today) it seems that one of them MAY have white spot... There is a spot on the anal fin, and one on the left flank. But only the 2 spots.
Now I don't know what to do! I don't want to loose the rams to whitespot, but I also can't medicate as it will kill the shrimp. I can't catch the ember due to the thickness of the plants either! What should I do to minimise or prevent any possible impact to my tank? Temperature is 28 degrees, Ammonia Nitrites and Nitrates are all at 0 (tested this morning. The reason they are so low is I am running a walstad style tank AND a filter, so the plants soak up all nitrates) and pH is just slightly less than 7 (the colour in the tube isn't quite 7, and isn't quite the step below 7).
Any help appreciated!!!
