White Spot Or Poor Water Quality

[Thuggerz]

Hi there, i left a post yesterday on the emergency forums, my fish were flicking on stones and plants. I was told to do a water check but the shop was closed today so i will go tomorrow. If the water quality is fine and ok then what do i use to treat the flicking. I have bought a anti white spot product but not sure that it will help?


Cheers for all the info and help!

Hi again, just adding to my last post. I did a 25% water change because of the flicking on saturday night about 9pm and just need to know if i should do another on sunday (today)?....just to let you know that i havnt ever done a water change untill last night and i have had the tank for 4-5 months but the waters always clear

thanx!

dosent matter if the water is clear, the bad stuff in the water you cant see!!! u need to check ammonia, nitrite, and less harmfull nitrate. when fish flick off leaves it can mean just a lose scale or with some fish if a form of display to the female. just keep a close eye on the fish to see if anything developes. what fish are they?
