Parrotfish disease? 2/19/13
Dear staff,
I have had this parrotfish for over 4 years and he is ~5" in size. About a
week ago, he started developing this lesion on his head.
<An infection in one of its lateral line pores; not uncommon>
It looks like a little hole in the head with a sort of white pimple (one or
more - hard to tell) inside. Any ideas what this might be? or how to treat
it?
Thanks!
Eddie
<Often attributed to Octomita/Hexamita infestation/s... but this is only
secondary to some issue/s of water quality and probably nutrition. Let's
have you read re the related HLLE:
