Looks like AMD. I asked about treatment and it was recommended that you do a 5 min FW bath followed by a methylene blue bath for 30 min.
The above recommendation is from a professional that I’m passing along :)

the clown is going back to the person I got him from tomorrow. I will pass along the treatment info to him for sure...thanks
 
Actually I was referring to Amoebic gill disease..... there are amoeba in the gills!

now that sounds a lot more fish related...you had me scratching my head for a while..lmao. you just type the abbreviation wrong...its supposed to say AGD.
 
Ok, I googled AMD with various fish terms and couldn't figure it out. I got the age macular degeneration a lot though...
