What does this look like to you?

This little guy is in quarantine right now until I know more about these white marks around the eyes and nostrils.

I pulled it from a 150g fowlr. The nitrates were off the chart. So I pulled this fish out and put him in a 10g. I slowly adjusted the parameters and the fish doesn't seem to be making any changes. It's been in there for about 5 weeks.

Is it just maturing or do I have an injured fish?

If I don't respond to any posts it's because I'm leaving for work. I'll check back later.

Thanks.

It could be HLLE.

I'm interested too mines the same what's HLLE?

HLLE= Head Lateral Line Errosion.

For the most part, I'm gathering the general cause of HLLE is poor water quality or lack of nutrition.

I don't know yet if mine will fully recover. I think the chances are good because it's still young. I have added to the diet: Angel Formula, Seaweed Selects, and Prime Reef Flakes by Ocean Nutrition.

Clutch, do you have pictures of your case?

I would say that yours would look the same as mine seriously I'lll see if i can take a pic....

I heard Reef Solution Fish Maintenance by ecosystems, will reverse HLLE over time. It certainly will not make it worse.

I'll have to look in to it
