Adrienne Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Not sure but maybe bite marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiraka Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ich would likely be less localised, could be bite marks like Adrienne said. Any sign of bullying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Seems to be big marks for ich and I would have expected to see some on tail and fins but there appears to be none. I assume the fish is bigger than the actual photo which makes those marks a reasonable size. Does it look like the scales have been pulled at or pulled out? What are your tank parameters? Is the fish swimming normally? Is the fish eating normally? Have you noticed any strange behaviours. If everything else is good then do a water change and wait to see what happens. A lot of the time a water change will resolve an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the time a water change will resolve an issue. The fish is swimming normally. It's eating normally. I haven't seen any strange behaviours and I'll test the water after school. I've done three 20 percent waterchanges this week so I'll do another. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
