petplanet Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have a chocolate knife fish that I have had for the last 4 months+. It has white things on its body that are up to 5mm long, 1mm wide and are spread over its entire body. They are raised so I am sure they are not some sort of marking. Have treated with Malachite Green and Fluke tabs. Neither have had any effect. The fish is eating and growing. Other fish in the tank are OK. Any ideas?

fins Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 sounds like a type of parasite or worm. I think you can remove them with tweezers but dont do anything until you have someone elses advice becasue I have never had this problem.
