Damsel is not looking well...

[arashsheikhpoor]

So I came home to find that my damsel didnt look so well. He is acting fine and swimming and will eat like a pig but he has white patches on his body ( not dots like in ick) and it almost looks like something tried to take a bite out of him... all I have in the tank is a gold headed sleeper goby, 2 pepermint shrimp, one cleaner Shrimp and on coral banded shrimp. also have hermits and snails. I also have some coral like hammers frogspawn, polyps and so on.. whater seems to be fine. I posted a video of it but im not sure if you guys will be able to see. if you cant. I'll try another video.

ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
ph 8.5

If I were to guess, it may be the coral banded shrimp

 

[arashsheikhpoor]

Yea that would my guess too. Any idea what the white patches are ?

Video is not conclusive. How long have you had this fish.

 

[arashsheikhpoor]

Maybe a week and a half? First started looking like this Sunday morning.

From the video, with my poor eyesite, it appears to be a parasite. Please see this. Was this purchased from a supplier that runs copper in their fish system?

 

[arashsheikhpoor]

I don't think they ran copper... because they had shrimp in a few tanks over and all the tanks are connected
