my id shark turned all white any help plz

[scottschiller]

Sounds like "ich", a water parasite which can affect your fish; better clean up your water conditions and treat it. Use your favourite search engine and look up "aquarium ich". It isn't necessarily fatal to the fish, but they can die if it goes untreated for too long.

how about for two?

[scottschiller]

Eventually a 120g would probably be too small for two. Try searching online for some fish/aquarium forums, you can find more "professional" advice there!

[shetbag11]

do you think a single id shark can live in a 120 gallon tank for its whole life or is that a temporary thing

[scottschiller]

I imagine opinions differ, but 120 gallons might be OK. Ideally you'd want something probably at least that large, just for a single one given they get to be pretty big.

@scottschiller

Ich does not turn a fish completely white. It looks like white spots(i would know, it destroyed a whole community aquarium I had.)

@chrisDR0 appears to be a male and female. most females have coloring mostly around the gill plate while males have the color over most of their body.
