Moor with white patch

Becky · Joined: 16 Aug 2007 Posts: 2

My Moor has developed a white patch on his 'chin' area. It is like
somebody has runned the colour away.

The texture of the skin looks okay. I cannot see any lumps or bumps.

Has anybody ever heard of this and if so what it it?

Thanks

Some fish just change color. I bought what was supposed to be a moor
but his entire belly was white. I later found out those types are
called Pandas. But as he got older he started turning gold and now he
is completely gold.

As long as there is nothing physically wrong with the fish it is
probably just genetics in action.

if there are decorations in the tank it is possible he has rubbed some skin off in
the area. add some salt 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons, no additives. dissolve first, add
slowly. Ingrid
