I just noticed this during today's feeding.
After much web research, I'm thinking Lymphocystis? Thoughts? If it is, I know there is no treatment, just gotta wait it out and try to boost the immune system.
The goby seems ok otherwise. Breathing seems normal. He is eating. The rest of his 'skin' and fins are good. All other fish in the tank are perfect (or so they act).
My first thought was ich, but the spot is much to big and there are not enough of them.
I'm just looking for any confirmation or perhaps some suggestions as to what I can do.
