This can include parasites, worms, tumors, etc. Don't make it too hard. You can include a short verbal description.

I'll start easy:

Thanks Vader :). Hope you participate!

Luppy is, of course, correct. For people who had trouble with this, notice the "saddle shape" of the growth on the head combined with the fact that this had to be a bacterial infection since the fish had not hurt itself. Columnaris also manifests as fuzziness on the mouth, amoung other things.

Your turn, luppy!

You know it... subscribed :thm:

Heh, 'easy one' is such a relative term though. The ID of even the more commonly seen diseases can give the most experienced aquarist fits. So hard to get a feel for these.

Already have a few awesome photos selected... muwahahaha

We wait for Vader. Stop sleeping and come back!

When all known ailments are covered, we become smug over our widespread knowledge of diseases. And allow doubleposts of the same disease/ parasite.
