Simonauv Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 What's the water like? I've had success increasing the pH and hardenss of the tanks (for rifters) that show this in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi sand diver Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Could just be an injury/scratch, hopefully it will clear up in a few days.It doesn't look like any disease or parasite to me at this stage, but keep us posted.Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aymenz Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thx Rob, I suspected a scratch as the other fish don't have it...as for the water readings:PH: 8.4Nitrate: 0Nitrate: 0Temp: between 26-28Thanks again,Aymen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewP Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I can't tell you exactly what that is but I have seen those types of marks on many Neolamprologous types over the last 20 years. In my own experience the rougher and dirtier the tank the more common so it could be stress related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewP Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 They tend to be more common around the mouth and head in my experience. Just check your water conditions including nitrate. If all good and other fish are gods then nothing to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
