[markphillipp]

hello all I seem to have a little problem I have a couple of sick fish I have had these 12 fiah for over a year now and have had no problems. Two of them have turned dark brown and have a gray film on their bodies. They are still eating and the water temp is at 89 and the ph is at 6.5. They are housed in a 180 gal tank a well planted tank the fish range in size from 3.5 to 5.5 and I perfer not to use medication is can avoid it but if I have to could you all recomend what to use. As i stated they are all still eating well and I feed the brine shrimp, bloodworms and beefheart with flake food
