Moor

[Babel Fish]

My black moor as over the last day developed a white dot above each of his
eyes. Could this be "white spot" or is it a white dot for mating season?

Thanks

more likely breeding stars.

Thanks - I hope so!

keep an eye on him, breeding stars normally form on the gill plates or the
front edge of the pectoral fins.

oddly, not on moors. I have found them all around their eyes. Ingrid

You rang a bell with that post, I found this:

Symptoms: Columnaris has several different appearances. One way which is
commonly described is the cotton-mouth disease; where the fish's mouth actually
looks like it's filled with a cottonlike substance. Another appearance is a
whitish small spot on the mouth, wich slowly increases in width, and where the
infected flesh is quickly eaten away. Another appearance is a small white spot
above the eye, slowly growing bigger, and suddenly leaving a large hole of 2 mm
by 1 mm or larger in the head(see the ps dayi picture, just behind the eye),
clearly showing pinkish flesh. The last one is often mistakenly identified as
hole in the head, or even Ichthyosporidium

Not on mine, but I'll take your word for it.

Funnily enough, they seem to be disappearing now and I haven't done anything
to the fish or the tank........
