Good morning team,

My mandarin goby has got these white bumps and looks to be flaky skin but is also losing its colour from its face!

i understand shes under weight she was only bought yesterday and ive already loaded with pods etc and she is eating

I'm just worried ahead won't last long

Sorry, the pictures aren’t really clear to see.

Did it have spots when you bought it?

Do you know the salinity the fish was in versus the salinity of your tank?

What other fish are in with it?

Could be the slime coat. Did she look like this first thing in the morning? When I first brought home my Dragonette I went through the same fear.
