That's interesting.

When I rescued these fish (the other owners moved away, and the fish
were left behind in a house that some friends bought) the nitrates
were over 300ppm (at least, it was beyond the measuring abilities of
any of the test kits that I bought) and I didn't see anything like
this on them. I'll keep trying to get the nitrates down more though;
no harm in that.

Thanks,

Jan
