what is this? pic inside

Fish appear pretty healthy, but i noticed this today on my coral beauty. Its eye is kinnda imflamed and puffed out a little, its also just a wee bit white. I was thinking ich so i lookd at my other fish.
Naso Blonde is okay,
but my Kole Tang and a black/white damsil both have a tiny white spot on the side fin?
could it be normal?

Can't really see too much there in those pics. Did you add a new fish resently?? Or even sand or rock from another tank that has fish in it?

 

[lilcheen]

no, fish were added 5 days ago, its a new tank (cycled) if you look at the eyes on the CB, you can see the difference.

 

[beth]

Yes, it looks like a scrape however, on the skin?
What are your water readings? Fish diet? Did these things just happen? Or have they been developing over time?

 

[lilcheen]

Yeah, its on the skin.
Water readings are all checking out fine. dont remember what htey are, but i did it last night. Diet..
the CB is not eating much. Tenera, a little....Flake..a little.... Formula 2... didnt touch it.
I just noticed it overnight.
when you say scrape...is that a disease? or just like a bruise/cut/scrape?
its SEEMS, to be looking better.

My CB didn't eat for almost a week. He just picked and grazed on the LR all the time. Now, he is a total pig at feeding time.

I meant a scrape, as if the skin had been scrapped off.
How's the fish doing now?
You should improve that fish died more, with greater variety. Maybe even some fresh foods, or, at least, a variety of fronzen foods.

 

[lilcheen]

what else can i try to feed?
Yeah, it looks like a scrape, a can see a little tissue thats loose.

Does your LFS carry frozen foods?
Read up on the nutritional needs of the fish you have in your tank and then provide them with foods that meet those needs.
