CLown knives spots

[savagesam]

A quick question for the experts please? In the past couple of days my clown knife has shown a disturbing spot fading and I was wondering if it was normal or if he is sick in some way? The average spot has a white circle around each black center, and in the mornings the white circle is gone, but in the evenings it has returned. A bit weird. He looks a bit washed out is the best way to put it. Any advice appreciated.

Never mind, I figured out the problem. I had been medicating another fish in the tank & the medicine was too strong for the knife. Now that my gourami has passed on and the tank is free of medicine the spots have reappeared.

I bought a young Clown Knife, it has no spots in its body, will it grow spots as the CK grows? I bought it because of its sleek body with no spots. Are there Knifefishes that grows up with no spots?

There's some variability in the number and disposition of the spots in CK. They're beautiful in every variant, though. My 0.02

Best regards.
