Good morning fish disease experts,
Here’s whats happening:
Divers den fish bought 4 yrs ago
Been through ttm, CP, prazipro.
Occasionally (3x year for few days to 1 wk), I will see a spot on its pectoral fin or dorsal fin. Never on the body but close to. I’ve chalked it up to Lympho because no other fish have it, the spots are one or few and larger then ich.
However the last 2 episodes I’m doubting Lympho. I can’t get a clear photo, but will describe what I’m seeing this episode:
4 days white cotton area on pectoral fin close to body. (This has never happened before.) Looked like when you see an insect on tree cotton-very sheer and lite. Now gone.
Immediately after cotton cleared on pec fin, it looked like 3 tiny spots between dorsal and body. Few days later looked like spots were very thin streamers, now they appear as very small nodules (more like Lympho). The fish is bothered by it and begs the cleaner shrimp for relief.
First impression this episode was a crazy parasite (cotton, streamers, nodules, gone) now I’m thinking a gram positive infection (infection, infection, dead tissue streamers, healing scar tissue) Idk
This morning the dorsal spots are 99% gone.
I’m setting up 20gal qt today, it should be an easy fish trap catch.
