Weird fin protrusion on tomini tang

[carlson]

Hey everyone! First of all thank you for viewing this thread. I'm not going to overload it with things you don't want to read. My tang is healthy as a horse as far as I know, a big eater, and fresh from overcoming ich. I treated him with copper but he didn't handle it well (almost died) and now beat the ich on his own in the dt. So today he has some weird bumpish thing on his fin? make sure you turn the quality to 360 p so you can tell. Thanks again everyone, I'm just a concerned parent [emoji28]

Looks like it could be Lympho. Here's a posting by our own Humblefish. Keep an eye on the area to make sure it's not Ich returning. Hope this helps.

Lymphocystis:

Symptoms - Lymphocystis appears as a white or beige colored cauliflower-like growth that usually starts on the fins and spines and sometimes spreads to the body. Initially it may be small (looks like ich), and then grows in size (which is how you know it’s not ich). Lympho is a virus that many fish carry for life. Fortunately, it is rarely fatal or even harmful to the fish, and symptoms will come and go.

Treatment options - No known cure or treatment exists. However, feeding vitamin-enriched foods and maintaining pristine water conditions may expedite the “going away” process.

Thanks for the input! I'll look more into that

I'm hoping he just scratched his fin on a rock or something

You are welcome. Highly recommend Selcon to boost the vitamins in your fish food.

^^ Agree with @Big G

I though about selcon, rn I just use garlic extreme and the mysis he eats along with seaweed has some vitamins in it too. I think the garlic extreme is the only reason he got through ich. But I'll definitely get some now.
