Hi there. I am trying to figure out what is on Bruce? He's had these "growth/marks" on him for awhile. But all of a sudden they are spreading all on 1 side of him. Can any one tell me what it is and what to do about it. Hes acting normal, eating, hunting, playing....
Thanx for any help!

raise temp to 86 and add salt to it... if its a fungus then it should go away.

Hi there...his tank is arround 86 most of the time...and hes been treated with salt several times due to a nasty injury a few weeks ago...But these never leave....
Also I dont believe they are heater burns....they are sorta feathery....and the heater is fairly garded...
HMM still a puzzle:confused:
Thanks for the info so far!!
 
my male retic had these, i had no idea either, they never wnet away and he never changed, it didn't bother him at all. so dont sweat it to much

Those look like heaterburns. Not a bad burn. But still shows.

look to close and small to be heater burns to me..
 
My rays have those too. Have always wondered what they are. My pup was born showing them. They form a pattern around her head.
 
Mine has these too all i have ever found is that they are comonly called love bumps (dont ask me why) but mine has had it for about a month and nothing is happened
 
Well glad to know they wont bother him. Guess it just makes him unique...lol...
Thanks for the help everyone!
