I Dont Think This Is Right!

[kev247]

Have just noticed this on one of my Dollars and am slightly worried. Now this could be the aftermath of a fight or some sort of disease im thinking hole in the head but im not to sure. The fish seems fine behaviour wise and still eats.I just dont no what to do...



Any comments on what this could be would really help thanks.

Looks like some kind of fungus rather than hole in the head - how big is the silver dollar? Hole in the Head typically only effects large fish nearing adult size unless in very very cramped conditions. Has it been attacked by anything is there a wound or does the white patch sit on the top?
