Almost gone. Can't figure out what he has. It seems when getting new fish it's tough to know who might have something. This guy started getting these white salt like spots - but I don't think it's Ich. Wasn't like dozens of them, probably about 3 or 4 and they look fuzzy sometimes, other times like a grain of salt. I also noticed he's noticeably maroon brown around the front of his head behind is eyes, probably where gills are in the fish. I'm wondering if that who area is red and is what is coloring him maroon.
I tried Ich away for two days and it didn't really solve much. Same with Pimafix. There was plenty in there to get rid of what was ailing him. Tried some aquarium salt and that didn't do it and I wonder if that irritated his gills. Probably anyone who has had a BB goby knows what I am talking about if they have seen it. He was swimming fine yesterday. Today he's lost a lot of color and is basically sitting still. I think he's close to going on his way out - any suggestions anyone?
