    One of my Sterbai has a white nose. Doesn't look like fungus.
    Neither Ulcer. But I don't think it is losing pigmentation.

    Any idea ?

    this might work better

    looks like nothing i've seen before
    but his pigmentation is very pale for his size
    have you done water changes recently?

    I just got 15 Sterbais a week ago. Today I found one of them with this white nose. So I have it isolate immediate. Kind of Q2 Tank

    I have changed 30% twice during this period.

    I got a Trilineatus with me fo half a year in different tank total isolate from this. IS has whitish colourlost also. I think is lost pigmentation.

    i have one sterbai which looks whitish, but the orange part is still very strong
    however he has cloudy eyes, but he had this when i got him, so *shrug*

    i'm thinking it's most likely a scrape he got from somewhere, probably will heal on it's own

    errr my conclusion is (up to u to believe ^.^)

    it might have been injuried while digging in ur gravel from ur pic some of the gravel have rough surface while some r smooth maybe this is the cause?

    He got it in a bare bottom Q-tank. I guess he might have smack to the glass.
    He looks ok except a bit nervous.

    Thanks everyone.

    Just an update. My Sterbai white nose disappeared. Ready to put back into main tank.
    All 15 Sterbai's have been in Q-Tank more than 2 weeks.
    Looks like SengBro 's Sterbai is quite hardy.

    Lost 2 Yamato bought from Rainbow... geee

    Aiya .. I did not put him to the main tank instead I put him back together with 5 sterbai in the larger Q-Tank due to lack of space in the main.

    His nose turns white again ....

    Yesterday I saw a white ballon at his nose. Blown quite big. I think anytime can burst. What's diease is this ? Will it spread if blown ?[]
