What is this on my clown?

[Thejester]

I just noticed that my clown has been hanging out under my jet and hasn’t been eating the past two days. I looked at it today and noticed a thing on the side of his head.

Sorry for the pics, he won’t turn long enough to get a good picture

If what I'm seeing circled is little white dots it looks like ich. Try an HD video and pause and screen shotting a cleaner picture. (if that isn't how you got the current pics that is)

The little a hole won’t give me his other side lol. It looks like something is attached to him. I’ll keep trying for a better pic. There isn’t any white spotting on him or any of the other fish.

Does it look like a single grain of sand attached to it? Then it's probably ich. Could be lymph but that's usually on the fins less common on the body. Still try and get a better Pic and well see if anyone has any other I put for ya too!

No not a grain, it’s kinda fuzzy looking almost as if it got nipped or something.

 

[Thejester]

Still grainy, I had to get the shot from the other side of the tank on full zoom

Pics are really hard to depict from but I am suspecting bacterial or even Brooklynella. Brooklynella is similar to Oodinum and fish generally develops mucus and fuzziness/haziness on it its body

I stuck my phone in the water this time. Way better.

It’s almost like a X on his head

I agree with vetteguy. That looked way diff in the first pics my bad for the ich comment haha

 

[Thejester]

There isn’t any haziness to the body at all, there is just that one spot. Could it be a anchor worm perhaps?

I mean possibly. Does it look beneath the mucus layer or on top of it. I know it sucks taking pics of clowns mine sits still till I have a camera ‍smh

I know, I’m about to catch his butt and put it under a microscope in my hand and take a pic lol

 

[Thejester]

Ok, caught it, took a pic, and now it’s actively bleeding from the spot.

 

[Thejester]

Actually not sure what it is, but something red is sticking out of it

@vetteguy53081 any idea on this?

 

[Thejester]

Anyone?

 

[mermaid_life]

any chance it's injured and the sore is starting to get infected so it's a bit puffy?
