I just saw this on the mouth of my clown.could this be ich? Or any idea what it could be, and what to do about it? I'm trying to get a better pic.

Well, it isn’t ich. Looks more like some mechanical damage. Do you have other clowns in the tank? They do lip lock when they fight sometimes…..

Shew...that's a relief. I kinda panicked when I saw it. It does looks more like a bubble. I do have another clown. I've had them for a little over 2 yrs. They do fight, but I've never seen them lock lips.

Thank you! I do have 2. They were the first little buddies I added to my tank just a little over 2 yrs ago.

Agree with Jay on a skin tag or mouth damage which they often get facial damage and theyre called clowns? Klutz are more like it but assure its healing over and not becoming infected such as red sore or mouth rot

Thank you! That's such a relief. I was afraid I was gonna have an outbreak of something! My other clown has become quite aggressive. That makes sense to me.
