6 line wrasse

[ravalos2282]

Hello
I have my 6 line wrasse on my QT and I noticed one white spot on its Tail on each side on the same area. And it also notice a white bump on mouth with red around it.

Qt is being treated with copper.

Pictures taken while I was doing a FW Dip

How long have you had the fish?
What copper product and dose are you using?
Is the fish still eating (sometimes, mouth lesions stop a fish from eating properly)

Yes it’s still eating and swimming good.

To me, still eating is a good sign, so I would not try any additional treatments unless it stops feeding....just stick with the copper for now.

I was wondering the same thing about my 6-line. It has the same exact white spots. I looked at the pictures of other ones, they have it too, most of them at least.

The white spots at the top of the tail is natural coloring. They have a 'false eye' there. Both of mine have it.
