Wondering if my mimic has something?

Titans831 · Mar 23, 2020

]My yellow mimic tang acts normal, eats like a pig seems happy, hangs out with her bestfriend scopis tang all day, chases my six line wrasse but she has scratched on the substrate and rocks very rarely. You can see a red line behind her gils and little dark spot on the Gil plate but she has identical on the other side. Think it’s something I should worry about? Or maybe changing color? I’ve had her for about a month now! She also looks to have some discoloration on her face as well! Any help is appreciated

Bump for safety

He also mentioned no labored breathing to me. His LFS does his water tests, from my interaction he doesn’t have the best of help from this LFS.

I suggested possible flukes but lead him hear as this is a little over myfull knowledge.

thanks everyone.

Anyone?

Looks to me like it could be trasitioning to adult coloration, the gill plate gets dark and a red streak forms just like in the picture.
