ocellaris disease

[manuel ferrer]

Hello
To see if somebody knows that it can be an injury that appears in ocellaris
and that I have often observed nonsingle in some of my unit but
in others in stores and photos of other aquariums.
I tell you leaves as a small wound in inferior maxilar in its frontal part (in the chin ) appears like two white small points that they are accentuated with wounded to its alrrededor, I have touched those white points in some cure with betadine (iodine),good then when touching I have discovered them
that they are!such bones of maxilar! that in these fish they are not closed
they by open. This injury does not affect too much to the fish and usually sends but as now I have a clown with this injury and hayer I saw in a photo of a companion the same injury and I have said myself to see if somebody has investigated the subject.
Greetings from Mediterranean sea

I have seen similar on spawning pairs as a result of their nest cleaning. But frankly the ones in the pictures are larger than I have seen, so I may be way off...

Are you using flower pots with the small holes in the bottom?

I had a pair of cinnamon clowns, and they were always "looking" through the hole. When doing this they would rub their bottom lip on the edge of the hole which caused small bump's exactly like your picture shows. After moving them to a different tank that did not have a flower pot in it, the bumbs quickly went away. Just a thought...

it is not by blows nor fights, it appears little by little and it is extended. first apears in the female,now it begins in the male.
now they are in the general aquarium without flowerpots
they are not breding now

In another forum I answer somebody of confianze(piscicultureveterinary) that is a tipica injury in piscif. of clowns who are a bacterial infection (nonmemory the name) that affects generalmenteal to maxilar inferior is dealt with a antibiotico of ample espectrum.
