Hi all,
I have attached some pictures but it is very difficult to see what I am talking about in real life and even harder to catch it on camera because my Guppies don't stop moving haha You have to get the fish in the right lighting and angle to even see it.
You will need full size image / zoom in to see it.
Looks like white spots but I thought white spots were much larger than this?
They are in quarantine tank now but this is the tank they came from before:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 15
PH 8
Very Hard Water
Temp 74
Fish age 7-8 months

Also anyone knows a good way to get rid of this on my plants? I've been using a toothbrush
Thanks all
Does anybody know what this is?

Seeing as all the images you've post show the spots uniformly on each fish I'd say it's just their markings.
To be certain, I would have see in the scale.

I think it's pigmentation as well from a cobra/snakeskin gene. My guppies get all sorts of variations.

It looks like its growing on top of the scales to me. If I see from the right angle it looks raised.
Also the 20 other fish from that batch dont have it. Also the first 1 that had it is dead unless coincidence? .
My thoughts was ich, velvet or fungus but doesnt really match any of them?
Ich its too small/fine?
Velvet cant be white?
Fungus not enough of it?
Idk

Ich, white spot or fungus would treat with eSHA 2000 and Esha EXIT before you start take any snails out...

I agree with the others it looks like colour pigment to me.
I wouldn’t start adding meds for the sake of it as it can cause more issues. Keep an eye ok them make sure they’re eating and behaving normally
