Hi All,
I have had this green clown goby for 3 days. He was a bit stressed in the first 2 days, but seems to have settled down on a candy cane branch now. He refused to eat in the first two days, but ate some spot-fed live copepods this morning (day 3), so I thought he is going to be happy.
However, this morning I also found a white nodule between his eyes on the 'nose'. It definitely was not there yesterday. It protrudes from the skin and is the only nodule I can find on his body. His fin and body parts look spot-free and fine.
I am a bit worried about this, as it could be ich as I read from many websites. However, it also looks similar to 'Lymphocyctis virus'. I have never dealt with fish disease before, so have no idea how to tell them apart.
Can anyone tell what this is, and what I should do, please? I don't have a QT tank, but I have two clown fishes in the tank for almost two years so I don't want to spread the disease if it is ich...
Tank is 60L with a HOB, established for almost 2 years, with just two clown fish and some CUC. Clown fish shows zero interest in the goby.
I am very concerned about him and the potential disease. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards
