mgudyka Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hello all, Between last night and this evening, a white dot has presented itself on one of my two pea puffers faces. Is it ick? I have bought the trio of medicine from aquarium co-op so they are available if I need it, but I want to be sure before I try to treat something. Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I don't think that's ich have got a better picture of the white spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Nope doesnt look like ick at all. Ick will usually attack the fins most, and there wont be just one dot, there will be LOTS. Could be a fungal infection, not sure with that picture. If it gets bigger I would get worried but until then I wouldnt worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's something inert like a snail egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one does tend to get chased a little by the other. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have seen white marks or lumps on other puffers some were raised bite mark I would monitor it will more then likely go away on it own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
