mangolm Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Just noticed my smallest borneo sucker seems to have multiple bubbles or blisters which have come up under his skin. He is still active and showing no signs of stress. Water is Amm = 0, Nitrite = 0 nitrate = under 5. He's in a community tank with two other borneos, a few rams, guppies, platies and neons The other two borneos dont appear to have any of these blisters/bubbles. Any ideas?

SanityChelle Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Can you grab a picture of him next time he's on the glass? What type of substrate do you have? Could it be eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangolm Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Flourite, it got stirred up quite badly a few days ago so im not sure if thats related. The bumps are on the upper half of its body mainly so i didnt think it would be eggs. Since the borneos have been in this tank (~4months) they haven't demonstrated any spawning behaviour like they did in the sand bottomed tank. Ill keep an eye on it and try to get photos for you tonight. He looks quite puffy all over so I wondered if it might just be how they look with bloat? I put a shelled pea in but I dont think he'll get any the way the guppies are hogging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
