tau626 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I just started a 26 gal bow about tthree months ago. i added a gumdrop goby and a orchid dotty back. Now both fishses are scrating themselves against the rock...the dottyback looks like he has a few white patches on his side, like he's been rubbing himself all day...anybody know what the problem might be??

pyrrhus Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 could be any number of things. more than likely it is ich. wait a few days and see if it looks like you took you fish out of the tank and threw some table salt on them then you have a positive confirmation. Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 flashing is usually sign of a parasitic infection, besides ich check for worms and odd spots/clingers near bases of fins. Link to comment

tau626 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 thanks..I just picked up a cleaner shrimp...the dotty and the goby seem to ignore him...hopefully that'lk change Link to comment
kris_willard Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 The shrimp will get over his shyness and eventually jump on the fish and start cleaning. Link to comment
