Previous pic of what she had on her side that came off in the fresh water dip. My DT tank had ich she came from. Tank is fallow for 76 days.

Looks like it could be lympho. Fairly common for fish to develop this relatively harmless virus during or resulting from treatment with copper. A bit hard to see in the picture. Does it look like a little puff of cotton or small piece of cauliflower?
After 30 days of copper ...a fresh water dip and general cure... is this ich or a fluke on her fin? She definitely had a big fluke/parasite that came off when I did the fresh water dip before the general cure treatment. She had stopped eating and had a huge growth appear on her side overnight. So I did a fresh water dip on her mid copper. She made a full recovery and started eating great again with full energy. I put her right back in copper after the 5 min bath. Now this spot on her fin after all that. Another 30 days of copper for the whole hospital tank?

Good to hear! Lol. It looked to big to be ich and does seem like a small puff. She’s so active now it’s hard to get a good pic. Thanks for help ... I’ve not heard of lympho.
Lymphocystis is a virus. There's no cure, but in most cases, it's roughly equivalent to cold sores. In extreme cases, the growths can interfere with eating or breathing ... but it doesn't look like that's what's going on here.
Good food and water quality is usually enough to send it packing, vitamin supplements such as Selcon and Zoecon can help.

I am using selcon because of HLLE on my tang already. Started from the copper. Hopefully it heals. The fallow period can’t pass fast enough. Thanks
