Blue Jack not well

[sunley213]

Hi just noticed a white growth in and around my EBJD mouth;



Any idea what it is and what is best to cure it?

Checked the water parameters nothing seem to be out of the normal

He's not really eating right, normally he is a pig but he barely comes out for it this past week. Only noticed the grow yesterday, although he started a bit of a head shack when food is added around a week ago.

There are many conditions that present these symptoms.
Saprolegnia, Lymphocystis, and Flexibacter columnarae are the most common.
If the mouth starts to protrude, it may be Flexibacter, lowering temp can slow the disease, but it is usually fatal.
If Lymphocystis, it is viral (like the common cold) and must run its course and be controlled by the fishes immune system.

Seems to of all gone now, the white is still around his mouth but all the white spots are gone.
