White Mass Dwarf Puff
Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2024 2:21 am
Dwarf puff, Big Mama, died today. A few days ago we noticed a spot but wasn't sure if it was an injury or something else. She stopped eating a day ago and just hung out on the bottom of the tank Today, she didn't move at all and I noticed another faint spot on her back. We moved her to a separate container since we have another dwarf puff, Lil Mama, in tank. The other puff has no spots and is acting fine. After we took Big Mama out we did a 75% water change and started treating with Erythromycin. I have attached a pic of the spot by her mouth.
