White Spots on My Loaches
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2026 10:32 pm
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance about my loaches. Over the past couple of days, I’ve noticed small white spots on their bodies and fins. They’ve also been acting a bit more restless than usual and occasionally rubbing against decorations.
Tank is a 120L freshwater setup, temperature 25°C Cool Games, ammonia and nitrite at 0, nitrate around 20 ppm. No recent new fish added, but I did do a water change last week.
Does this sound like ich, or could it be something else? What’s the safest treatment for loaches, since I know they can be sensitive to medications?
