hi everyone, new to this board and the hobby. i have a 55gal fowlr. two things, first, i have some fake plants in there for decoration and on parts i am getting brownish spots;mostly towards the top of the plants and none on the bottoms. diatoms perhaps??
second, my fish are 3 false peculiars and 3 bengai cardinals. question about the cardinals, one of them isnt looking too hot, seems to be "gulping" much more than his counterparts and is hovering around the top as if grasping for air.... i know these are symtoms of ich but with white spots already being on the fish how can i tell for certain or should i just toss him in a QT and monitor more closely... params are all good...
thanks
