With the white-faced stuff, there is nothing to scrape off. Its almost like the lose all pigment from their eyes forward. Funny that it affected the blackbandeds only in this tank and not the blackbandeds, bluespots, longears, or dollar sunfish that are in this system. Just out of curiosity, I put some blackbandeds from one of the other ponds into the 300 gal tank that the malady occurred in and so far, two weeks later, nothing has developed. Maybe it was something that happened to certain ones after spawning. Geez, I guess that's another variable. I didn't notice this white-face until after I noticed that some of the BB's had nests.

That's a pretty good idea. I was also thinking about sending some samples to
Gainesville, where the closest right & proper ichthyopathologist is, to let
her have a look-in-them.
I wonder if Chip's "white face disease" is the same thing or something
different. The white-face thing sounds viral to me. My affected shiners are
in a tank with some Bluespotted Sunnies, but the suns are are just fine.
