hey guys, my leopard sailfin pleco has this thing growing on his snout for a while. i dont know what it is but, seems tht it's not affecting its health though. and also i apologise tht i cannot provide any info on my water conditions, i mean about test kits and all tht because i dont have em. the temperature seems fine though, with no heater the water is almost stable between 22-26 degrees celsius. i do a 60-70% water change every weekend.
here are some pics,

i can take better pics if these are not good enough. any help would be much appreciated. :)



 
Looks to me like its growing in a couple different spots from the last picture
 
Looks like even on the edge of one of the fins. Any other fish with him? Are they showing any signs?
 
That is weird looking. Maybe a type of fungus...
who knows. never seen it before.

yeah, thanks for noticing me. yes, of course. nope. they're all just fine. i think it's been about a month now.
 
I would pull him out and treat him in a separate tank and keep a close eye on the other fish in the tank. Cant tell what it is but good water and maybe something for fungus, I really dont know since I have never seen whatever crusty thing that is before. :barf:
