White spots

licia40 · Nov 22, 2015

Hi, so I have a nemo with white spots and there seem to be some white animals on the glass. What are those? Will they harm the fish? That tank only has one nemo.

Are you talking about in the movie?

Poor Nemo!
How long is the tank setup?
Can you provide a picture of your Nemo?
I'm sure the spots on the glass are pods which are good but spots on Nemo ain't.
Spots on Nemo sounds like Ick but without a decent picture we can't tell for sure.

The white specks on the fish is a parisite, and can kill fish. the white specks on glass are pods, and are safe. You need to QT all fish and treat. Do a search on here for proper QT and ich treatment.

Do you have the whole cast of finding nemo in the tank with nemo?

The tank has been set up for about 3weeks. The nemo was added in about a week ago. I noticed the spots yesterday but it seems worse today

Hahahah. Nope but planning on getting a bigger tank to get most of the cast. Trying to get used to it first since I'm only used to fresh water fish.^^

That's interesting!
If that's the case what size tank you have as there were pretty big fish in the cast.
Wasn't there a WHALE too?

Your fish will die if you don't treat it. Did you even cycle your tank?

Diesel · Nov 22, 2015

As Miyags mentioned ick or brook.
I'm not a clown fan myself (lets drop the nemo part for now) but I'm sure looking at your pic that something is up.
Do you have a FTS (full tank shot) and can you provide some # of your water to us?
Temp, PH, Salt level, did you test your water before you added the clown?
Tell us how you acclimated the clown to the tank?

How about a whole tank picture. That will tell a lot.

I'm looking into the treatment of the fish. Will the pods affect the treatment of the tank? How Long do I need for a new tank before adding fishes to it?
