The way the fish was pale reminded of neon tetra disease Caryl, it was just the best way I could describe it :dunno: When I released him into the tank I couldn't tell for sure if there was indeed a pale spot, but after a few days it was obvious. Although until the day/evening he died, he was eating and swimming with nothing other than the pale spot to indicate anything was wrong.
GrahamC: my pH (tank and tap) are always around the less than 7.6 :facepalm: The highest registered on the test strip is 7.6 (dark blue), next is 7.2 (green); so it's a definite blue but just can't tell if 7.6 :oops: Gosh I hate trying to distinguish colors... :facepalm: :happy1:
Thanks folks,
