| I have a female l144 bristlenose that had had a white spot on her since I bought her a few months ago, It now has got slightly bigger, but I may be paranoid. She laid eggs 2 weeks ago, and seems to be acting normally. I wanted an expert eye to look over her. Waiting on picture uploading.
Tank size and setup:
Substrate:
filtration (Internal, external, flow rate, last cleaned and what it was cleaned in):
Airstone/sponge filter etc:
Inhabitance:
Fish affected by issue (all/bottom dwellers, all bristlenose or a single fish etc):
Feeding system (what, how much, how often):
current water change system (before illness appeared):
water changes made since illness appeared:
As many levels as you know (pH, Ammonia, nitrate, nitirite, KH, GH, TDS, aanything you can find out, your local fish shop should be able to help with this):
any chemicals used (including carbon/chemical fitration inside the filter):
water source and treatment:
Major changes in the last 3 weeks (new fish, new plants, new anything or changes):
Symptoms (gasping, not moving, bloated, spots, wounds, stressed colours etc):
Pictures:

| Your picture has now been approved I am assuming it is this one.  My first thought was Nodular disease caused by Sporozoans, but it's not something I have seen in real life, only in books, so can not be positive. For now I would isolate the fish to hospital tank, if possible due to the risk of contagion, untill other views are expressed. | |
