there are white spots, and it is resistant to treatment.

water parameters are
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 15
ph 6.8
gh 50-60
kh 40
temp is 87 raising to 90 to see if it helps

daily water change of 25 to 30%, i have been mixing half dechlorinated tap water and half water from the big tank as my gold ram is thriving and really growing in the big tank. They have two coconut shell caves and a clump of hornwort in the middle of the tank to let them have some space and territory, and the coconut shells help to add some tannins and soften the water a bit

metrinidazole is the same med as flagyl in humans/dogs, it is used for fungal and parasitic infections but has some sort of secondary bacterialcidal action as well. it is used both topically and internally and i was wondering if soaking some frozen food in it would help fight the bugs from another angle since they feed off the fish.
