This has been on my Blood parrot for a while now. Its a white/greyish spot that doesnt really stick out much. I don't know if it's some kind of fungus or what. Any ideas? BTW the black spots are from stress. Blood parrots get them when they are moved into a new tank or stressed in any kind of way.

is this the same BP as in your avatar?
you might want to check this page out since the pic is so hard to see..... look either at "tumors" or "other lesions", they're close to the bottom of the list.

Maybe its a bruise from bumping into something. How does your BPs get spots from stress when mine don't?

The people at the blood parrot forum that I visit said it is common and it is from stress. I believe that to be true because they didn't have them in the LFS and when they came home they got them and now they are going away. He could have scraped himself on some rock.
