1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?
Had this pair for about a year now just recently redid my tank set ups to go to 29 cubes to make everything look cleaner. Moved the pair to the 29 cube on Thursday used half of the old water from the 40 breeder they lived in and half new water. Made sure temp and water was good before transferring. The next day the male had one white zit starting on its for head then in a later of hours it started to spread and then today Saturday it got super bad. Only a sponge filter and heater in the water nothing more.
2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds).
Started as a white zit then spread to become looks to be skin infection
