In talking about quarantine...and disease in another thread. I just realized I have a possible problem w/ a cardinal. I've had him (or her?) for about 6-7 months. But I noticed almost immediately when I got this school (of 6) one would get this strange-looking extra scale-like fuzz (like a goatee) on its bottom lip and ONLY the bottom lip. It's really hard to see and doesn't seem to affect it adversely or the others.
I just moved the school into my new, larger tank I'm setting up as a community tank and don't want to introduce disease. What should I do? Could it possibly be: Mouth Fungus (Columnaris)
???
It seems to fall off and come back from time to time. I don't think any of the others have had it..... It's my largest cardinal in the school and grown a lot in the last 6 months. Never seemed/acted sick. Should I try to treat it somehow? Move it back to the quarantine tank w/ the new fish?
Anyone had experience with this?
Advice please?
PS sorry for cross-post Thanks so much everyone!
