My first post and in this section.
Ok I just need to ask if this is ich on my fahaka puff.
He is not scratching or something similar(like I know other fishes do).
There are just few white markings on his back(didn't noticed anything on his fins).
He/she is my tank for about 3 weeks(about 1.5in lenght), it comes from Germany and I know they quarantine all their fishes etc.
Eats like crazy.
For now only thing I get him to eat is apple snail, ramshorn snail and bloodworms(frozen).
Snails are bread in my sump.
My tank is about 850L of water and its divided in the middle, on left side is puff(he/she has around 500L) and on the right side is rhombeus(rest of the tank, not so playful fish).
Tank is cycled for about 8+ months.
I have sump with circulation about 3000L/h, one sunsun canister with 2000L/h and one eheim canister around 1000L/h.
Params are all 0(ammonia, nitrite), nitrate is around 20(I'm adding nitrates to this level because of plants).
There are just those 2 fishes in my tank so its not crowded.
Piranha doesnt show any ich signs(she is resilient like a rock).
I didn't add anything to the aquarium beside microelements and easylife FFM(water change, need to buy some Prime again).
So far my water change regime was 30% every 2weeks(piranha eats every 3days and its not messy eater).
Feeding for puff is 3 times a day(until belly is slightly rounded)
Its not so much visible in person as on image. I cant get him really well because its small and moving constantly.
You can see beside right fin and under dorsal fin some white dots.
