Lori,
Can you tell us more about the tank she lives in? What size? How long its
been set up? How often you're doing water changes? How much each time? What
kind of filter(s) are you running (make/model)? Water parameters for
ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH? How often do you feed her? How much at a
time? Water temp?

The more you can tell us about her (how big is she? tank mates? if so, what
and how many of each?) and her tank the faster we can help you.

Hello to the group

I have noticed tiny white spots on the pectoral fin of my jack dempsey

she seems to look healthy

i also notice in the morning , when i turn her light on

their are tiny white worms on the glass they do move you can slightly

see them with the naked eye,about a hr later their gone.

I only feed her crickets mostly and cichlid crisps

she will not eat anything else other than that her diet consists of crickets
mostly

Thank you for listening

Lori
