Ovoid spots

Stations or ocelli, generally beige or yellow color, found on the anal fin (more rarely at the end of elongated pelvicas) of certain hounds. It is assumed that these spots, whose shape and color recall the eggs of the species, stimulate the female during the parade, ensuring better recovery of eggs and better fertilization.

Ovoid spots are skin lesions that appear on the skin of fish and which generally have an oval or ovoid shape. They can be of different sizes and colors and can be located anywhere on the body of the fish.

Ovoid spots can be caused by a variety of factors, such as parasites, bacteria, viruses or fungi. They can also be caused by injuries or skin lesions caused by sharp objects or rough surfaces in the aquarium.

It is important to treat ovoid spots quickly and effectively in order to prevent the problem from getting worse and protect the health and well-being of fish. The treatment depends on the underlying cause of ovoid spots. If they are caused by parasites, specific drugs can be used to eliminate them. If they are caused by bacteria or fungi, antimicrobial drugs can be used. If they are caused by injuries or lesions, it is important to clean and disinfect the affected area and monitor healing.

It is also important to maintain a healthy environment and good living conditions to prevent the appearance of ovoid spots and other health problems in fish. This includes using an effective filter, regular aquarium maintenance and the addition of water treatment products to maintain a good level of water quality. It is also recommended to nourish fish with quality diet and keep them at appropriate temperature and humidity. By taking care of these elements, you can help prevent the appearance of ovoid spots and maintain the health and well-being of your fish.
