[scott270]

ok i have now turns on the lights and it is white but it is not ick. It is fuzzy like and almost looks like a hole in the center of the white. I have informed swf.com and they told me to let them know if it gets worse any idea on what it might be

I'd keep the fish in QT and keep an eye on it. It could have gotten nicked when being caught, packed and shipped. I have a potters angel that gets bumps and scratches from time to time, but they heal quickly. If you feel it might be ick, you may want to do a freshwater dip, or hypo. Only problem is that a new fish is stressed enough as it is from being shipped, that if you stress it out too much, it may refuse to eat and die miserably.

Is it around the eye or on the eye ball? Is it protuding out, or just a discoloration? How well did the fish acclimate? How is it doing now?

 

[scott270]

he seems ok but he still has the spot. it is not ick. he acclimated fine, the spot is out and not just a discolored spot, he looks like he is cut and white stuff is coming out that is what it looks like

 

[scott270]
