Hello. i am going to try so explain this as good as i can but i find it hard in english!
I have 4 Saps in a 180L, tank mates are 2 small pleco , 5 Poecilia reticulata and 2 Xiphophorus maculatus, Corydoras julii..
i got home from my work and i feed my fishes, i dident have any time to stop and see how they where eating.

When i got back to se how they are doing my saps where swimming almost up side down! they are behaving like nothing is wrong!

I have started to treat my fishes because the had parasites, in here we cal the sicnes "Whit dot"

White dots are *generally* a sign of Ich.

P.S. I'm not sure if its' mentioned or not, but this is *usually* caused by high amounts of stress, and can be a result of transportation, constant water parameter changes, and it is highly contagious.

If you've added any fish recently from a pet store or the local fish store without proper quarantine it *possibly* came from there. Its very important before you add any fish into your tank when you buy them that you quarantine them in a *separate tank* for *no less than 72 hours*, I usually quarantine for 2 weeks just to be sure because of the amount of money put into my plants and aquaculture.
