    Yes I think Hikui too, not easy to cure as is thought to be a type of skin cancer, normally affects red pigmented cells.

    Sadly it passed away yesterday morning. I had removed it from the main pond and placed in quarantine with air supply. Seems a bit too later. Totally gutted.

    Thank you to those who tried to advise, your guidance is very much appreciated.
