One White Spot on Clown Pls Identify

[Jessy.]

Please help me identify this illness. I don't think it is ich or clown disease, but I don't know. There is only one white spot (slowly growing) under the clowns right eye. I just got this clown 1 week ago. Should I QT it? Can I leave it in the tank? How do I cure it?

this pic is from a week ago

this one is current

That looks like lympho to me. Its a viral disease (not treatable) and similar to warts in humans. If you maintain good water conditions and feed healthy food the fish's immune system should help and it will probably go away on its own.

COuld be brooks, a clown disease. Here's how you'll more than likely find out. He'll live or die, if he dies it is brooks, if he lives it wsa lymph. Hope its lymph but doesn't look to be imo. I'd read up on brook and follow the instructions on treatment or you'll more than likely loose him.

Looks like Brook to me. My clown had it pretty bad after I bought him. It went away after I fed him lots of selcon soaked food. Is he still eating? If so, it should go away in time.

Neat! hahaha A clown hosting a feather duster!
