[AquaticLife] Question about salt?
I’ve never owned swordtails so I’m not sure but it could just be a pigmentation issue and not be a disease or illness at all. If he’s not acting sick and the spot is dormant, then I wouldn’t treat it.
It could also be a melanoma which is more common in hybrid and cross bred fish. Not much can be done if it is this and oftentimes, fish will live relatively normal lives with varying degrees of skin cancer issues and tumors…. and salt won’t help if it is a pigmentation issue or melanoma issue.
