Here are a couple of pix of this Zebra Danio that has part of its head / face turning white.
I don't see any open sores or any build up on the surface (no cotton looking growth).
There are no other white dots on it, so I don't think it is ICK.
None of the tank mates show any symptoms.
She/He is the tank boss and a very enthusiastic feeder. I almost wonder if it didn't injure itself digging into a tight spot for a bite of some morsel?
The fish is not doing anything strange and is still very active.
Tank parameters:
55 gallon community planted.
0 Am, 0 Nitrites, 5 Nitrates. Ph 7.4. Water Hardness = liquid rocks...
Low tech with a liquid all in 1 fert dosing (Thrive C)
Most recent water change was yesterday.
Temp maxes out at 75 degrees and down to 73 degrees by controller.
I double check the temp with a stand alone thermometer.
There have been no new additional tankmates in over a month. And at that point I added some Olive Nerite Snails.
Am I being too cautious or is this the onset of something?
Sorry about no head on photo. I took over 40 just to get some that were not blurry.
Thanks folks!
