livingart Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 did he have them when you bought it? is it on the outside of skin? could be old water in tank try changing half water see if that fixes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 did you acclimatise him to your tank water slowly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookieskennels Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 He was like this at the petshop and has been like that for ages, hence why i brought him cause i wanted to help him, ($50) not cheap, there was a young baby that looked like it was starting to develop the same thing.
