I have a yellow longnose butterflyfish in my qt since I bought it two weeks ago. First it had fin rot and was not accepting food. Today is the last day of the API Furan treatment. I had also dosed the qt with Paraguard initially. Currently I have it alone in qt with hypo for two weeks.
about a day or two ago I noticed these perfectly round raised white bumps on its head and sides. I couldn’t figure out what these could be. I tried my best to capture them with my phone. Also, the absolute worse thing is that the little guy has not been accepting any food whatsoever. I’ve tried pellets, nori, algae flakes, algae sheets, fresh shrimps, masstick. I’ve hatched brine shrimps also but I they’re probably too small right now. But I did add them to qt. In the photos, the small white particles that you see against the black head of the fish are actually brine shrimp naupli and not icy. The bumps I’m talking about are present near its dorsal fin on the back side on both sides, and also on top of its head. You have to zoom in to see the white bumps. Sorry for the very long post, any help identifying the disease/problem and suggestions to get him to eat would be rally appreciated.
