A Agassizzi has a white marking on head

[kribs]

Hi
One of my male redtail has a white spot on his head it is not ich it doesnt look like hole in the head. the fish are kept in RO water. They are in a 5 1/2 gallon tank there are four fish in the tank. 2 aggies and 2 corys. the temp is 84 degrees and i feed them blood worms,mysis, and pellet food.

RO water and what else mixed with it? Any tap or RO right?

Could just be a scrape, mine get them from going in and out pots.

HI
It is pure RO i have not even mixed any peat or anything like that but the gravel in the tank came from an already established tank and the fish were living in it before and i have various different apistos in it and they are all fine. IT doesnt look like a scrape though.
thank you

Pure RO ? :roll: 8O

i have a question about that .....
is Pure RO is good for life..... ?
i always read/heard/understand that Pure RO doesn't contain (or not enough) vital elements.... so what is the opinion of forum members on that ?

regards

That's what I have heard, you have to mix some tap back in, or reconstitute with a some man made products.

I have started a new thread for the purity of RO water discussion as I don't think that it has anything to do with what kribs is asking about. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. It is, however, an interesting discussion and should be given some space. Here it is:

kribs,
Did the spot on your aggie start small and grow? Does it protrude above the surface of the skin?
