Hey people,

I went to feed my fishies this morning and noticed that both my clownfish have a little white bubble on thier lips. One on his top, the other on the bottom lip. there is also one on oneof the fins. The water is fine, and all the other fish are happy and everyone is eating well and swimming around and being happy. Is this just from them bickering with eachother? They are about 2.5 weeks old in this tank and are constantly picking on eachother. They swim together and hang out together, but bicker. Alot.

Maybe they got married?? lol

Is this all it is or should I be more concerned?
 
They are just babies. I got them from the LFS a few weeks ago, and they were only about an inch and a half long. They are Occelaris clowns. I have read that the male will turn darker (when they decide who is going to be the male) and at first one did, its almost half black now. Recently tho, the other one has started to do the same. The one that has more black is the one demonstrating the submissive behavior tho. However, they both seem to have the little white bubble on thier lips.
 
ok, now there seems to be another spot on one of the fish, im getting worried, this is the first time that a fish has exhibited any sign of disease, and im not sure what to do. Someone please help.
 
Can you get pictures of them? Generally that will help a lot.
 
Ya, Ive been trying, but the little bastards wont hold still and they all turn out fuzzy.

One seems to be better today, but the other is still there. I will try and get a decent picture.
