My roomate bought a flower horn. he has had him a couple of weeks. he bought a fifty five gallon this weekend to put him in. before we transferred him to his new tank, we shut the filter off for an hour in the tank he was currently in. the ph level in the water was fine, but one thing was weird. when we got home last night he had a white mark on his lip, almost like a puncture mark, i thought that one of the white clouds we were feeding him might have gotten him with a fin when he tried to eat it. i dont believe it was ick becauase there were no white dots on any fins, and he did not act out of the ordinary. he was only about one and a half inches long and the temperature in the tank was between 75-80 degrees. the last water change we did was when my roomate bought him two weeks ago. any information you people can tell me would be helpful. i dont want to put a fish in the tank he died in until i know its not a virus or something.

Thank you for all of your help
