Sounds like he has ick. Can you catch him and quarantine him ?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Sounds like ich. Can you take a pic so we can tell you what it is and help you cure your fish.

[mazon56]

ive googled and it kinda looks like cauliflower disease but it more of a blochy white spot this is a its like a tiny cotton ball on the fin

Might be lymphocystis (cauliflower disease). Is this what you have goin on?

it doesnt look like that.that looks like it is under the skin. what my fish has it looks like it can just be picked off.

Anything looks familiar here?

Thats a great site for info skene! I've used that site for mant things in the past. Why didnt I think of posting that link lol It must be the booze:beer:

 

[mazon56]

that is a great sign thanks alot. it looks a little close to Lymphocyctis virus. Is there anyway to treat this or just let it fall off in its own. he looks a lil stressed all he does is swim up and down the side of the tank.

 

[fishman1069]

You might wanna research a lil further. I dont think its gonna just magically disappear. You might have to qt the fish and treat. Im not familiar with that specific disease so just do your homework

 

[mazon56]

thanks. everywhere i read they just say give it vitamin c and it will come off eventually. i just wanted to know if anyone here had any past experiences and what ppl did to cure it.

just keep the water quality up and it'll go away with time.

It is lymphocystis. Readup on it. There is a lot of good info on the web.
