![]() | Platy with a spot |

It is acting normal, eating too. Is it just a blemish or should I be worried? I can never get a decent picture so I'll try to explain it in depth if needed. ________________________________________________ I like Led Zeppelin. |

Sometimes fish will change a bit in appearance as time goes by, so that's a possibility. Have you tested your water to see if anything is amiss? What are the results? |

The spot looks kind of fuzzy, and it is more on the tail of the fish than where there would be coloration. Still, she is acting normal for a 3-day fish in my tank, and is eating and swimming fine, just a little reclusive though. I'll try a picture, don't have time right now though, gotta go to skuul. ________________________________________________ I like Led Zeppelin. |
