can hole in the head be elsewhere on the body? what does my fish have
« on: April 22, 2014, 10:39:25 PM »
i came home this evening and my male fuelleborni has something odd on the side of his body. about half way down his body he has a scale with redness underneath it. im not sure if he banged it on something or it he has a possible parasite. it doesnt seem o be slowing him down at all. hes hell bent on breeding with at least on of his females tonight. ill try to catch him and get a picture of it. does anyone have any ideas on what it could possibly be?

I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

Kinda worthless without pictures

Yes, hole in the head is called HLLE for short. (Head & Lateral Line Erosion )
