i have had my true percula for about 3 weeks nano in a 12 gal nano dlx. I just noticed today when i turn the tank light on that he had a small, white, somewhat stringy growth on the bottom of his jaw(not in his mouth). it is very VERY small but still noticable. could this be a bacterial infection? he seems to be fine, eating and swimming normally. any advice would help alot. thanks :notsure:

Is there anyway you can zoom in and take a crappy pic (or a good one, but pics of clowns are difficult) so we can try to help you out? It could possibly be lympsomethingoranother. Post a pic, and I will try to identify it for you...if it is that, just leave it alone, DO NOT CUT IT OFF WITH A RAZOR. Many books tell you to do that, but all it does it make the problem worse!
