Hi all,

My BGK has a white/grayish cloudy film-like substance on the front parts of its body. It's also on a bit of the fins too. Do any of you know what this could be and how to treat it?

Maybe just stress from water quality issues. I’m just guessing. Would monitor for now. Consider paragaurd if not better or worsening. Make sure it’s eating. Recently purchased fish?
