CLOWNFISH - Possible ich/lymph etc

[DamionHD]

Just looking for help fast, I apologise for the poor pictures but it's hard to get


My smaller clown (currently battling for dominance) has this lump appear on its side! He also has a small mark on forehead which I can't get a picture of!

I'm just worried it's ich or something bad!

Any idea from these pictures!

Unlikely to be ich, more likely to be battle scars. Be careful though, clownfish will sometimes kill each other in smaller tanks if they don’t pair up.

Not ich as stated by Jay. I suspect a sand grain t small puncture wound. Pics are a tad blurry and in darker light and best under white light intensity

Appricate it. I thought this was the case, yeah I have a 2nd tank currently being set up and these are still fairly small but one has jumped in size last week... no aggression before then so I am keeping an eye for sure lucky I have 3 weeks off work now and have bought a camera if I'm out!

Appricate that that you! Yeah I was stressing I think but I'm keeping an eye and setting up another tank just in case it doesn't improve (I suspect war wounds)
