Pale patch on Gold Nugget

[Steve C]

That sounds like extra slime coat being produced due to stress. That stress could be from fights or an infection which could also explain the fins or even an irritant in the water.

If you see this on any other fish i would suggest doing a 50% water change and adding 0.25g per L. Or treating with melafix.

Hope I've helped a little, sorry again for your loss.

Thanks

All over fish are fine, did two large water changes over the weekend as had a revamp and needed to clean gravel where hardscape had been. Was treating with melafix when this happened due to one of my angels looking ragged due to fighting. The aggresive angel has been moved on.

No visible damage to the BN, but he was much larger than the GN. May have been something completely different that caused the death. Have been watching the BN carefully in the evenings and all has been calm. Just one of those things :dk:

Not going to get another GN, although he looked healthy and active prior to this, and seemed to be eating well maybe he wasn't and would not want to lose another one.
