Blonde Naso Blemish Problem

[reefcat]

I was wondering if any of you might have seen this before on any of your fish. If so.....any idea what it is or how to fix it.

It seems to be getting worse so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jup, this is common on blonde naso's, I don't know what it is but it has something to do with their slimecoat getting weaker. You could use vitamin B to help the skin repair. Mine had it too and I didnt do anything about it. First it got worse , then it disappeared after a few weeks. My naso never had it again.

Yeah, I knew that was an issue with Naso's. I'm glad to hear that yours got better.

I was just concerned that his seemed to be getting worse instead of better. I've only had him a short time. He's pretty mellow for the most part so hopefully he'll settle in a little better in the days to come. I need to find some more types of food that he'll eat and put him on a vitamin regiment.

My blond naso got it once before. I took him out, dip him in fresh water and cleaned the slime off. I didn't know if it was the right thing to do but it was gone after that.

They usually get those spots shortly after you got it. I never saw it again on my naso and my second naso never got it. I mostly see it on bigger specimens also. Garlic nori is a good food for naso's. Freshwater dips could help as well but I didnt want to stress my naso so I just fed it vitamin soaked food and it got better.

I've seen this alot with newly imported naso's, so assumed it was stress related. It did seem to go within a few weeks once they had settled down.
