hello!
I have a one inch batfish who has had a clear coating (semi-white) on and off. I've had him for 3 weeks, and took him in after 1 for the same thing, but to a lesser degree. My fish store says it's just excess stress.
I accidentally forgot to turn my UV Filter on Sunday after cleaning the tank and now he has it behind his head (gill area) and it's on his nose and starting to turn his eyes blue. He was excited as usual last night, but today he is not swimming much at all.
I hate to drop such a little guy in ich treatment if it's unnecessary, but now think the UV Filter has simply warded it off all this time. Should I put him in my treatment tank?
It comes off of him like it's a film, but is not bumpy, nor is he. It's got a white tinge to it and is not imbedded in him, but on him. It's only on his body right now, not his fins. He is not scratching and the water quality is great. My other fish appear fine so far. :notsure:
Thanks for your advice! :jumping:
