| Does anybody know if its common for Bn's to develop a white patch an the back of their heads? I'm fairly sure it isn't ich but am not sure if its natural or something I need to attend to any thoughts? | |

| Eeeep white patch? Doesn't sound right. I know males often have a red patch on the back of their heads and females are not as bright, but white I'm not sure on Is it simply a patch, or more a bump, fluffy? One of my glass cats developed white patches not too long ago, I couldn't identify it though some sources said it was ich, but he recovered well from it and no one else caught it. Post a pic if you can, it might help in identifying it. I hope it's not anything to worry about. ~Tegan | |

| Agree with above posts, without a picture we would just be guessing. Also if it's in acommunity tank then a list of tankmates may also be useful. | |

| Ok so now I'm really confused, The patch began to shrink yesterday and at the time of writing it has almost totally vanished. sorry I couldn't get hold of a camera to show you all, but hopefully it was just a passing thing will watch and see I suppose thank-you all for the advice tho | |
