Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone knew what this maybe it’s only been there a few days like a lump and white marks on both fish they’ve been getting along really good but noticed recently they’ve been cleaning there pot out more a fighting a little from time to time but still swimming together and acting like a bonded pair I have put some nd labs anti bacteria in the water in the hope that it may only be from having a fight but I was wondering what others may think it may be thanks

Not abnormal when two clowns are fighting but also occurs when clowns are cleaning rocks especially during mating and with glass surfing in which they chase their reflection up and down the glass causing this. If it get red or sore , treat in separate tank using Seachem Neoplex

Liquid bacteria wont do anything for this but rather keep water parameters such as no3 and ammonia in check

Ahhh, Europe. In this case, you can use Waterlife Myxazin or NT Labs Myxazin
