My pH is 6.8 in my water temperature is 84 82 degrees

I'm only a beginner myself so can't really advise you, but I wish you luck with these issues friend.

I'd post more pics but can't figure out how or maybe it's just not giving me the option on my phone

Use Kent R/O Right Water Conditioner

some just use a 60/40 or 50/50 RO to tap. to get back some minerals and stability in the pH.

nitrite 0 , nitrate 5 still about the same?
been doing 25% water changes every day since i started the m.green all white spots are gone. tank is still at 86
the loach's fungus has almost completely healed, although 1 german blue ram i found dead this morning unsure of exact cause he had no spots or fungus.

Back to this post.Rams are very sensitive to water quality;meds are hard on them and other fish more so than heat..That's why I recommended heat treatment.I watched a program a few days ago where they are going to apply heat for treatment in farmed salmon to rid them of parasites.

This is my other discus with the white spots. Still seem like hole on the head?

Crazypop231 you should start your own thread instead of hijacking this one for your problem.

Fish do HAVE pit's as another member has pointed out that is not looking like HITH to me it looks like pits/nostrils that may be larger than normal due inadequate water quality from lack of large enough water changes and or tank care.

They seem to be scratching their faces on my plants

But not alot every now anD then I notice that

Other wise I guess I'll do more water changes I do about 5 to 10 gallons a day in a 55gal tank. I had them for a month and noticed them so I started to ask

[Crazypop231]

And I don't know how to create my own thread other wise I would have.

[pitdogg2]

I do about 5 to 10 gallons a day in a 55gal tank. I had them for a month and noticed them so I started to ask

start with 40gpd water changes, 5-10 is not nearly enough. How long have you been keeping fish? Do you have gravel in the tank? how deep if you do?

That would be like changing no water at all when it comes to discus.50-100% daily would be much better.

I have had them for about a month and I had other fish prior but I got it stable (biofilter) so I can do a discus tank and it's white sand not even a inch thick it's pretty thin layer.
