Subject: "Pimple" on Fish
|
I picked up some Corys from the LFS yesterday. Last night I noticed that
one of them has a "pimple" just forward of its right pectoral fin, where the
fin joins the body. The "pimple is off-white and about 1/16" in diameter.
Would this thing be a cancerous growth or a parasite/disease? If it is
something that would only affect that fish, that is OK, but I if it is
something that will infect the other fish, then I want to take care of it.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi there. =3D )
Long time no post.
I've talked to David via email about this and from what he described,
it didn't sound like an injury.
It's a shame he doesn't have a digital camera, as it would be so much
easier to see a picture of the "pimple" like thing on this poor Cory.
He told me that his other fish are fine, no signs of this and that his
LFS said he could exchange this one for a different one.
I told him to take a close look at every fish in the Cory tank and if
anything is showing symptoms of disease or parasties to pass on them
and that it would be better to get credit.
A creamy/yellowish..raised bump can be several things, so without
actually seeing it...very hard to say. Oh...it's just one single bump
too. Personally, I've seen tumors that start out like that and there's
some sort of parasite that can start out like too....I just forget
what it's called. I had a Striped Rapheal cat have this odd parasite
many years ago. It was the oddest thing.
Started out like a raised, yellowy-creamy bump. Then it became a
raised, fluid filled bubble. You could see that there was something
inside the bubble, but being so small, I couldn't see whether it was
like a bloodvessle or the parasite. I wish I could remember the name.
I treated with Quick Cure for a while in a quarantine tank and he was
fine.

that ones sounds like a worm cyst
I have treated worm cycsts (digenetic trematode species) of many types
most times I have not been successful when they are in egg stage
tough critters hey
however with one 'black spot' case all went well
if it was a worm I reccomend the pig/poultry medication leminasole
hydrochloride (sp? sorry drunk)
seems VERY safe to all in tank
don't worry about pH it works at any pretty mcuh
but I digress
your right of course could just be a tumor
or it could be a larger parasite wedged under a scale
or even a healing wound
catfish like to brawl sometimes
even chilled things like corys
myself I would have taken a scrape and chucked it under a microspoe
heck confusing as hell
but I'm a curious cat I am

That's because they keep you muzzled there. You agree with the party-line.
Your arrogance is kept under control. They can't control you here. And
you're such a hypocrite. You tell others who to kilkfile but you never
killfile anyone you have it in for.

Having seen what is now happening to your post and the fact that any
advice that could help you is in danger of sinking into the mire can I
suggest you try posting your question to a google group (and you can
also post pics there which will help in the diagnosis) - it is a very
active group which you can check out before deciding whether to post or
not....along with reading some of the past posts there if you need to
without joining at all.....The link is:-

Well I agree with Tynk, there is not enough to go on to make a
diagnosis....a photo would be good but failing that more info is going
to be needed.....
Is the pimple raised? or does it look like a blister on the skin? Is
there any fuzzy fungus type growth around it? Are there any other signs
of spots/pimples on the fish?
Is the fish feeding, swimming and behaving normally or is it showing any
other signs that it is sick?
What is the interior of the tank like? Do you have any sharp rocks, bits
of wood or plastic fake plants? Do you have a heater guard? Basically,
is there anything in the tank that the fish could have injured itself on?
Are you able to go back to your LFS and take a look at the rest of the
fish that are on the same water system for signs of similar symptoms? -
not just the cories but all of the fish in the other tanks as well....
What other fish do you currently have in the tank? or is it just your
cories? When it comes to the risk assessment it is necessary to know
exactly what is at risk other than the fish in question.
Another option is to set up a hospital/QT tank - if you have a small,
free tank available.....this way you can observe the fish for further
symptoms without putting the rest of your fish at further risk......If
this is an option let us know and we can give you advice on the best way
to set up such a tank

Its best to provide a pic of what you have. Next to impossinble in
