Velvet?

Post by geaston »

IN all the years I have had fish I have never had velvet in any of my tanks but one of my big clowns has a small scrape or cloud onit . She is swimming fine and eating but Iam concerned, Is there any photo's I can compare , this Lady is 8 inch's long and a character. Thanks Graham
four tanks in the office, no space for another one the desk has got to go!

i don't think it's velvet otherwise it would'nt be localised to just one spot.
if you look at the fish just off head on you would see a sort of dust on the body,
ive had it on numerous occasions when i was breeding killi's it would either show as white or brownish dust on the body.
