Hi All, Im new to this forum and am asking for a little help with a new 55 gallon tank. As an FYI I have run fresh and salt in the past but this is my first time at Cichlids (feisty little buggers)
I've been up and running for 2 weeks now, ammonia is at 2 ppm with no nitrite in sight yet. I know the environment is a little dicey and Ive already lost a female kribensis. My question is about black spots appearing along the flank of my female yellow lab. Spots are running from tail all the way up to the mouth including pectoral fin and gill slit. Does this sound familiar to anyone? No odd behavior from the fish but Id like to be able to treat if I can. Also, any indication about when I might see a nitrite spike? I'm using microbe lift but so far no cycling.
Thanks for any input
