Any ideas what would cause this discoloration on my black cap? I am thinking a bacterial issue of some sort and plan to treat with antibiotics (kannaplex+Metro+furan) but wanted some second opinions.
To make a long story short I added some new clowns and about a week later one died pretty rapidly to what I can only describe as brook. All other fish looked fine but, this black cap has been flashing on this side for some time well over a year and I would notice the slightest discoloration. I never though much of it because I put it through full QT, it wasn’t everyday, and didn’t seem to bother the fish.
Fast forward, I set up QT last week and Formalin bathed all the fish before adding them. This black cap started to showing really pronounced discoloration after the formalin bath. Hard to picup in photos but his head is almost dull like a reptile in shed. I wonder if it’s brook as well.
Possible he is the root cause of it all?
