It's just a discus pimple. Discus often get them when the water quallity is on the border line of their tolerance .
Just up the WCs and it will go away by it self .
Thank god for that! Really didn't want to be treating for whitespot after the nightmare ive had with gill flukes. Will up water changes to every day instead of every 2 days.Quote:

I thought so as mine are kept at 30c and i knew whitespot don't like high temps. Whats Discus salt?Quote:
