Perc. Clown

[rs1831]

My clown has one white spot on her side and its been there for a while. It might have been there when I bought the fish. My question is if its just one spot and the fish seems fine otherwise does it seem like its the beginning of some kind of disease. This fish is the slower of my two clowns but eats really well and seems great otherwise.
Let me know
thanks.

How long has it been there? I doubt it is any form of disease because it would have become more severe by now.

Just over a week now. The white spot has been there for at least a few days so hopefully it was there when I got the fish. If anyone else has any input please let me know.
thanks.

Does it look like like a little 'spider web'? I just noticed one on one of my clowns today. I'm not happy about it.

No. Just a single white dot.

it is likely the start of ich, unfortunately. it usually starts slow and very small in size and number.

I had one that got a little white spot on its side. It looked like a little piece of foam stuck to it. It didn't seem to have much of an effect on the fish but it's helth fluctuated a lot. It was fine, then got pretty sickly, started to get better then just went to crap and died. the spot never changed. Second ocelarous I lost and I'm afraid to buy one now.
