Mystery Spot...

**Treerat** · 02-25-2008, 01:41 AM

This is the link to a pic of one of my Feather Fins with a white spot on his side. Sorry, its not the best pic, but its one of the few times he sat still long enough to get a picture. As far as I can recall, he has had a white mark there. But lately it seems to have gotten larger. I do not know if its larger because its growing along with him. However, it seems to be more white than "normal".
Does anyone have any ideas?

I seen this with only one other pleco. It was kinda like a birthmark. Didn't seem to cause the fish any distress, and wasn't harming in anyway, just seemed to be some kind of blemish. I didn't really worry to much about it. Do you have anything in the tank that he/she might have scratched himself on? I have seen that too, but it will heal on its own. Just a thought.

is the white thing fuzzy?

might be just a nick, my oscar nicks himself all the time and he gets white indents in his flesh, they repair eventually

No, its not fuzzy. And it's not changed shape. Maybe its just as simple as a birth mark. I havent had a case of funjus or Ich in more than 10 months and that was infected fish from the store. There is not sign of distress in the Feather Fin. I'll just pay a little more attention to it.
