Could this be ich or lympho?

[evan-beachouse-45]

It's new today, I'm not sure what it is. Just trying to be cautious and make sure it's not something too dangerous. This clown has had lymphocytis in the past.

I can't see anything clearly enough.

I think @melypr1985 is catching up on the forum. She is much better at the photo ID's than I am.

I had a buddy who said it's too bumpy looking for ich and this fish has had lymph in the past.

I would tend to agree with that. Especially if it looks like something more than one uniformly shaped spot.

Hey @evan-beachouse-45 , I'm going to need a better picture of it. It could be either. I'm gunna need one that shows it full on, not at an angle like that. I know it's difficult since fish are so accommodating when taking pictures... just do your best.

One lump on a fin = Lymphocystis

 

[melypr1985]

One lump on a fin = Lymphocystis

Only if that one lump stays after 5-7 days in one spot and gets bigger.... oh and no others appear in that same amount of time. If it falls off before the 7 days are up then it's probably not lymph.

If it had lymph in the past it would also now. Its a virus. Kinda like fish warts, yuk. Its contagious and Its treatable. Dont believe curable.

Maintain excellent water quality, use immune booster, healthy diet, and supplements.

Could it come off early if I give him an immune boost

 

[stevo01]

If an infection sets in treat the infection.

Also by QT'ing the fish until the outbreak is over can prevent transmitting the disease.

If it's lymph, it would get smaller and go away over time. it will not fall off over night.... if that happens and it happens within 5-7 days of first seeing, then it's probably NOT lymph.

About a month ago, I added shrimp, my main concern was they brought something in

Immune booster is something used over time. If you want to try to reduce outbreak and severity you could try using this regularly. Im no expert and I just try to help out. Whatever the experts suggest go with that
