Hey everyone, last week i posted about my new aquarium with my turtles' old pleco, Spot. I had a picture of his nose, which had a little red spot on it...

and now that spot has turned into what looks like a blister

does anyone know what this might be? Im going to take him to the store where i bought him (Big Al's) soon to see if they can help. Anything anybody might know would be very helpful!


(i know this isnt turtle-related, but this is the only message board that people actually seem to help)

I have no idea, but you can also try posting over at http://www.turtletimes.com/forums/index.php?, they have a thread for fishy friends, so maybe someone there can help too!

Just a guess but maybe he's rubbing against something in the tank?
Perhaps using the kind of water conditioner that has slime coat might help.
