My 4 inch flowerhorn has a white fungusy substance stuck on his inner upper and bottom lips. I believe that he had a little fight with my clown loaches and damaged his mouth a little, and then this stuff started to grow.
I tried to do some research. I read about mouth rot/fungus, but I read that this is normally caused by unhealthy, crowded tanks. He is in a 55 with 4 clown loaches and a small Ornate - healthy water parameters. Like I said, I think the growth is from sustaining an injury on his mouth. I noticed it a few days ago, and he is still very active with a great appetite.
Any suggestions on what this is and what I should do?
Thanks.
