I have a 29 gallon with eclipse system.
running for 46days (fully cycled)
approx 30lbs of LR
salinity 1.023
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 0
ph 8.0
last water change 9 days ago
5 damsels
4 nassarius snails
6 astria snails
4 blue legged hermits
5 red legged hermits
1 brittle star
1 sea urchin
2 peppermint shrimp
Here is the problem...
My 5 damsels (3 black and white stripes and 2 have yellow heads and pink bodies). It seems all of the damsels are rubbing themselves against the rocks or the glass. I began to notice this last evening and this morning they are all doing it.From what I have read it says they likely have a parasite, however my book doesn't tell me what to do. (I have ordered the Conscientious marine aquarist but don't have it yet)
About 5 days ago, I noticed some white spots on the glass. I can't think of the name of them at the moment but they are little coiled worm like spots. (I read on this site that they were not a bad thing)
I have a QT tank but the water in it is not cycled as I have just set it up with my new 120 gal tank.....plus, they are all damsels and would be murder to catch. Hopefully there is something I can do for them in this tank....
Hopefully I have provided you with enough background.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
