Hello everyone, I have to ask a question about my Mandarian Passion (female). Everytime I start lowering the conductivity in the breeding tank she seems to start getting white patches on her body shortly after the hardness is lowered. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, I should have taken a pic. After she starts the white patch's thing I do a w/c and add salt, then like today she seems to get better. Nothing ever changes with the male same ole,same ole. Any thoughts on this it's driving me to drink and I do that alot.................................Jim

How are you lowering the conductivity, and how quickly?

Barb I usually lower from 160 - 180 ppm down to about 120ppm in about 10 gals worth of water change in a 29 gal. tank. about a half hour's time with R.O. Jim
