one of my tetras have developed 2 spots of white goo looking substance on its body near its tail. its eyes also look a little cloudy. it seems to be acting normally. none of the other fish seem to be affected. ive been googling for the last 2 hours and didnt see anything apparently similar in the first 10 pages of this forum. im fairly certain its not ich as the spots are much too large. it doesnt sound like columnuswhatever. any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated. please note that any treatment would need to take into account my shrimp. thanks in advance! info and pics below
