Lymphocytis or something else?

[puffy127]

This guy has been through 14 days of therapeutic copper as well as GC/metro dosing and GC/Focus laced food. Been in my observation tank for almost a week with no issues other than what I think is lymphocytis. I've never had a fish have it this bad before and usually it is only on the fins, not body. I've been feeding nori and vita-chem soaked food everyday since day 1 in QT. Is it just really bad lymphocytis or something else? The white dots don't drop off and have been like that for over a week. I thought getting him out of copper and the meds would help it improve, but it has not.

Looks like classic lymph to me.

I definitely see lymph but I’m unsure if there are other things affecting the fish. Did you move it to a new sterile QT after 14 days in copper?

This is a strange presentation for lymph (this many spots).

How long did it take to look as it does here?

Did you post about a Trigger with similar spots?

Yes, in a sterile QT after 14 days of therapeutic copper. Had lymph on its fins 1-2 days into QT, started getting worse and onto body towards the end of the 14 days of copper. Been about the same since transferring to the sterile QT.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

OK I think it’s Lympho only. Very odd and numerous presentation, however. So long as it doesn’t cover the gills or mouth rendering them unusable it will be fine and the fish will clear up.

Good nutrition (varied nutritious foods soaked in vitamins such as selcon, zoecon or vita chem), clean water, and time should “treat” it.

Thanks.
