I literally just noticed these now when he turned around. Hes got these two white patches on his side, and a odd white spot on his head.

He made this nearly impossible to get these pictures.

Tank Information-
55 Gallon
Running a Penguin 300 and an Aquaclear 110
Tank has been set up since last Sunday, 70% of the water from the original 29G was transferred over into the new tank.
I do not currently have the tank parameters on me. If needed I can get them first thing tomorrow.

Tank mates-
Two(2), 2 inch Green Severums
Two(2), Firemouth Cichlids: One large, One small
Three(3), 3 inch Tinfoil Barbs
One(1), 3 inch Jaguar Cichlid
One(1), 2 inch Clown Pleco L162
One(1), 3 inchButterfly Pleco L52
One(1), 5 inch Royal Pleco L190

Feeding- Mostly Hikari pellets. Also given high grade flaked food, frozen food, and live shrimp once in a while.


From what I have seen no one messes with the pike as he is the largest fish in the tank. I haven't seen any aggression from him towards anyone else. I find this kind of strange. He does sleep under the heater, could it be a burn mark from that? I love my Pike. I would hate to see something happen to him. :cry:


Also posted this in the disease section. But I wanted to see what you guys thought.
 
BUMP

I am leaving for Tampa for three days in two hours. I need some idea on what to do here.
