Hi all, i have 3 silver dollars with one which has a a white oatch on its side, the whte does stnd off from the bit body like cotton wool. The fish is as normal and feeding and swimming fine, n o other fish have any signs of it yet either.

I have got a pic of it, if you need a clearer pic i will try and get one, the batterys are being charged up at the minute.

I had silver dollars that had the exact same thing, not to worry......much. I realized that it was from injury. They spook sometimes and run into things. I actually witness this happen once and sure enough by the next day my silver dollar had the white patch.
I would advise you treat for secondary infection, personally I used pima fix and mela fix together.
It will go away it just takes time.

BTW your silver dollars look almost identical to my trio I had! Good Luck!

I was thinking that they were from fighting or damage from darting, but then i thougt no.
Well it is nearly cleard up now on its own, i think i will add some salt to help a little more, dont like to add anything else as they are in with stingrays aswell so dont like to mess with the water with meds to much.

thanks

Good call, I wouldn't do meds with rays either.
