    You are probably right in that water changes will fix his issues but his entire test is that you do not need large, daily water changes to raise good fish

    Update:
    The fish with the white spots is back to normal. Looks great and eats well.

    No additional water changes or medicine.

    Pics of the fish today:

    I'm always updating my recipe, but this was the beef heart recipe I last made and then stopped feeding. I'm going to use it again and see what happens. All other fish look great.

    Recipe:
    Beef heart - 2 pounds
    Fish (saltwater) - 1 pound
    Shrimp - 1.5 pound, peeled
    Egg yolk - 3 egg yolks

    Astaxanthin - 1 tablespoon
    Lecithin - 2 tablespoons
    Garlic - 3 cloves
    Paprika - 1 tablespoon
    Spirulina - 2 tablespoon
    Vita Chem vitamins - 2 tablepoon
    Gelatin - 1 packet, no water
    Brewers yeast - 1 tablespoon
    Gluten powder - 1.5 tablespoons

    Mix well and Grind up fine

    I received this picture from my friend that has the fry from this experiment. Says they are doing well. It's not the best picture because they took it from their cell phone but thought I would share anyways.

    I could be wrong but due to what I've read and the results of the next test: (http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...scrubber/page2)

    I believe that the deformities in this test were due to the egg and wrigglers being exposed to prolonged high dosages of Methylene Blue. The next test of fry were also given increased amounts of calcium and other minerals right after hatching which may have helped.
