    Hi Members,

    Please advise if this is a disease or poop? It's been over 5 days that I've seen this dark patch on my White Skirt Tetra. Other fish in the tank are good and not showing any similar features.



    Any advice, ID and/or treatment options would be appreciated.

    Take care,
    Caren

    Are you able to quarantine? If so, do so. Looks ominous to me but i could be mistaken.

    Welcome to the forum Caren. My first thought was its a female fish and its eggs.

    I think it’s the fish’s organs.

    Unfertilised eggs are usually a milky white or pale yellow
