lumsifu Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 hi guys i've recently noticed a white spot forming on the end of my clowns tail. i've tried to search for tips in the forms but can't seem to pin point the exact problem with my clown. i just assume its 2 things...either its ick or fungus. i've posted up to pictures but its pretty blurry because its hard to get a good shot of these guys. can you guys please help me out and let me know what i should do? thanks! <img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/lumsta/IMG_0517.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/lumsta/IMG_0515.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> Link to comment
Six Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's Lymphocystis. A viral infection. Here's a good site: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/lymphfaqs.htm run by Anthony Calfo and Bob Fenner. As you can see by the posts, there are many problems with viral infections and clownfish. Long story short, it's not medicate-able but will need to run it's course. Like the common cold. Good Luck. 6 Link to comment
