Question
hello i recently bought some rummy nose tetras and one of them has a big white spot on it. can you tell me what it is.
thanks

Answer
Hi,
If there are many small flecks around it's fins or body it is white spot, but if it is just one it may be come sort of parasite. Without a picture or a very detailed description it is difficult to tell.
If you can get a picture that would be extremely helpful and I could give you a more precise reply. You can email me your picture on kathrynhaldane@yahoo.co.uk.
The best thing to do is do a 30 % water change with dechlorinated water.

I look forward to hearing from you again,
Best of luck,
Kathryn
