    My female clown has a weird white flake looking thing on her side; it looks like it might be a scale. I don't know what it is because i don't really see any signs of deterioration in her skin and it doesn't look like the photos of ich i've seen. It looks like its just something that got stuck on there, but im thinking not. Its been like that since this morning and hasn't come off.

    Doesn't look like anything on the disease links. Any clue as to what it might be?

    appetite is still fine and she is behaving normally

    Maybe it scraped up against a rock, it doesnt look like you have any fish in there with it that would harm it.
