Hi,
Thanks for looking all solved.

Hi Caryl,
Thanks for that, the male may be mostly down to his favourite hidey spot. An old brick. They are in different tanks but were both together for 3 months earlier in the year. The male is in with some Sterbai’s and a few guppies. The female with my Albino aeneus and one timid Angel, so I think fighting unlikely.
I have been carrying on with the reading, what do you think of “skin flukes” as a possibility? Not something I had heard of before the weekend.

Hi, Relatively new here, but had fish for quite a while.
I noticed the other day my two GBA adults have white patches. It doesn’t seem to worry them and neither have changed their behaviour. So I guess just unsightly, does anyone know what it could be and what could be a possible cure?
Certainly something outside of my experience currently.
I have tried treating for the usual suspects fungi and bacteria and there’s been no visible change. What else is there that could produce a blotch type result?
Let me know your thoughts as I’m stumped.
Cheers

I have purchased about twelve of these and only have one male, so looking for at least a couple more. Happy to discuss options.
I am in the Taranaki region.
Cheers

Hi Caryl,
Thanks for reply, the only thing I add as they are both in with Cory’s is declorinator, and then only in small amounts as I prefer the aging method for water.
The reason they were both together was in lockdown, I medicated them together to try to eliminate the issue. But that was now 6 months or so ago since they were seperated again. No big surprised they used the opportunity to spawn, which is how I have come to the conclusion its a parasite. As none of the fry exihibited the issue until they hit 6cm or so.
In all my research and reading I didn’t see the exoskelton fact, that explains alot as they sure are tough little buggers 😮. So thanks for that, the more information the better.
