Help with clownfish please...

[sdergar]

I have two clownfish that are doing great in the DT. Have been there for nearly 6 months and as of the last month have been hosting in my torch. One of the pair is now showing a white spot on it's upper body as per the red circle in my pictures.

Can anyone id it and maybe a cure or fix?

Alk 2.3
Ammonia / Nitritre / Nitrate all are 0

Might be an injury from the torch

I am not sure that looks like ich...I thought ich is small white spots that appear randomly over the body. This seems different.

Any way of getting a better or closer pic? It might be a fungal problem but on that pic I cant tell.

As of this morning that spot has all but disappeared. Actually tried to get a better picture but it seems to comfy in the torch to get out this morning. I just got a couple of quick glimpses and I can hardly see the spot. I'll keep monitoring him/her to see what happens.

Thanks...Steve

What kind of camera are you using to take your tank pictures?

 

[sdergar]

I am using a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV.
