Hi everyone,
Just noticed a brown growth in the mouth of my GT, and was hoping someone here could help me figure out what it is and how concerned I need to be.
This was the best pic I could get:
It's got kind of a "fuzzy" look to it - almost looks like a little chunk of sponge filter stuck to his teeth, but I'm pretty sure it's not. Is this a fungal infection of some sort, or just poor oral hygeine? Did a quick search for fungal infections but couldn't find anything that looked like this.
He (I think?) is in a 125 with a handful of loaches (clowns and yoyos) and a school of tiger barbs. Weekly 50% waterchanges, and nitrates under 20 PPM. He seems to be acting normal, and everything else in the tank is healthy and active.
Thanks in advance for any assistance y'all can provide!
Dan
