Looking for a diagnosis!

Hosting burns generally appear like small black freckles. My clowns went through the hosting battle in the past.

I see this ( white blotches )once in a while on my tailspot, but I have had him over a year and no problems.

Do not medicate needlessly. It can weaken an immune system.

Treat if necessary but only when necessary.

I have never medicated my tanks.

Good luck.

True, I would expect hosting burns to be black as well.

She really isn't bothered by anything....I did find a couple of Bristleworms today...but highly doubt they would be the cause...I'm just going to wait and see if the colour returns. I like your statement about not unecessarily medicating!! I agree!

could be healing spots, as you mentioned black specks earlier, posibility of hosting burns. You see that a lot when clowns host in carpets.

White stringy turds are definately signs of Brooklynella, but you would need symptons of heavy breathing and scrathing too.

If you can find it, look for a product called ImmunaVital, not sure which LFS out there would have it, but Big Al's might. It will help strengthen the clown's immune system.

Like ColdFX for fish.
