Minanora Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 What.... Is going on here? Two of my son's otos have what looks like... Driftwood slime... Boogers? I dunno, it's transparent and they are behaving normally. Should I be concerned? pH 7.4 GH 150 KH 40 AM 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 Temp 74 Both nostrils have the little wisps. There are 4 otos. All are happy and healthy except the nose wisps. Are they normal? Never seen them before on my other otos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Possible over production of the slim coat the fact it's on the nostrils is odd I would just monitor them closely for the next week if you notice any other symptoms give us an update @Minanora 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thank you @Colu It's definitely not anchor worms at least. I'll keep an eye on them. Seems like one of them had it come off except for one nostril. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Maybe something got caught on the skin at that spot when netting them? I've never seen that. I would try to move them to a specimen container and examine super close to see what you can see. This is about the "best" clear photo I can find. I'll try to find one with better focus on the nose section to see what we can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Only one of them has a single booger now. I dunno, I've had them for a while now. I didn't put it on my calendar.... I usually do write down when I buy fish. They're all fat and happy. Growing very quickly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Really weird. Hopefully all you see is continued improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
