theDude Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 It looks like ich . Has your cleaner shrimp tried to eat it off? Link to comment
pyrrhus Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 definitely looks like ich, try giving the goby daily freshwater dips at the same ph and temp as your tank to reduce the load of ich on the fish to the point where the shrimp may be able to control it. i would also raise teh ph in the main tank as it is a little low i would shoot for about 8.2 or so. also i would remove teh biomedia from the CPR and possibly replace it with LR rubble, it could help to reduce your nitrates to 0 Link to comment
pyrrhus Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 hows the goby doing these days? Link to comment
