Not sure if the qualifies as an emergency but I need to know what to treat for as I am baffled...
My adult Angel (18mths) has 2 raised spots, one either side of the front of his dorsal fin.
Each spot is white and and is the size of a grain of sugar. When I spotted it last week I automatically thought it was white spot but wasn't able to get meds for a few days so I did daily water changes and vacs however, I got meds yesterday but I'm now a bit unsure if that's it as he has no other spots & the existing 2 have not changed.
There are no other symptoms, is plump, eating well, pooing normally and is bright in colour, no red streaks or patches, no other fish in the tank have any issues, 180 litre tank filtered by fluval 305 & internal (maintained monthly), 0 new additions in over 12 months (except fry born in the tank), 0 ammonia & nitrite, tap nitrate can be quite high but have had no problems with that for over 2 years, live plants in the tank and have not witnessed any aggression to him from his tank mates, maintenance procedure is the same, 20% water change weekly, big gravel vac fortnightly, fed on Nutrafin flake & sinking pellets, frozen bloodworm & daphnia and occasionaly eats the plecs veggies when he is bored.
Tried to get photos but he is a camera whore and won't blo*dy turn sideways so after 20 shots of him mocking me I gave up...
Anyone got any ideas....
