Sick Clownfish?
I noticed my common clown this morning with a small brown lump on his chin. It almost looks like he has a goatee. Anybody have an idea of what it could be?
|
Upon further investigation from the front he looks like he has a red dot below his mouth with what almost looks like a light brown fungus protruding down from it.
|
Ok, whatever was on the little guy's lip fell off. I read somewhere that copepods can attach themselves to a fish's body. Anyone ever heard of this? The clown now has a small red dot left below his lip, hopefully it will heal.
|
at one point my clown did have something like that on his stomach, more white though..could be pod
|
Yesterday whatever it was came back, I set up a small quarantine tank and he's in treatment now. Hopefully he'll pull through.
|
Been on medication for 4 days. Fed him a couple of small pellets, he went to grab one and the scab on his chin fell off. He looks alot better. I'll keep medicating him for a few more days.
