Are my fish diseased?

[deadxero]

Most of the fish in my 55, every one but my angel, seem to have what looks almost like a green crust above their eyes. Has anyone else ever seen this? Any idea what it might be? :help:

can you provide a pic?

what are your water parameters?

how long has the tank been set up?

any new additions recently?

No picture available at the moment.

Water params: 0,0,0,<20

Tank has been running for about 4 months now.

Added two juv. gold rams over the weekend. These were purchased from a vendor that I have never had an issue with in over a decade of keeping fish. They had the rams in stock for over a week and a half prior to purchase... they appeared in perfect health at that time.

I currently have three gold rams, and a pair of mollies that exhibit this condition. Yes, I know they are not compatible long term tank mates... it is temporary. My angel is the one fish in the tank that does not show this odd discoloration.

Why the three zeros? Zero nitrates? I was under the impression it's the <20.

 

[deadxero]

Oops... one too many zeros.
0 - Amo.
0 - Nit.
<20 - Trate

If it matters PH is nuetral to slightly less than 7.0.

Got it. I would wait for pictures though before I make my own diagnosis.
