Brooklynella

[AlohaJacklyn]

Can anyone tell me if this might be brook? Right above his fin. Im wondering if its just an injury. I introduced him into a new tank and he got beat up a little bit by the female before pairing. They are preparing for egg laying soon so i was looking at them closely and noticed it on him. The female appears fine. Any help is appreciated.

That's not Brooklynella. It is kind of an odd place for an injury. When clowns fight, the injuries are more often on the fins and mouth, or the fish's flank.

Are there any other symptoms, any changes in feeding behavior?

No, nothing. They are both very active, seem super healthy and eat well. They are super in love, for the most part. Easily my sweetest pair. They have been confirmed paired for at least 4 months. They are both imitating/practicing egg laying (biting the pot, scooting circles around the pot etc). I was wondering if it may have been an old injury that i just noticed but after i posted this, i went back to look at old videos to see if it was there and apparently its always been there... and on both sides (exact same spot). Is it possible its just a characteristic and not an actual injury? It doesnt really look like a 'built-in' spot but im out of guesses at this point.

I see old injury and not brook and expect as a mated pair more battle scars. Its their nature

Sorry, I’ve never used that product, so I can’t tell you if it will work or not.
