Subject: Orandas with white lumps - is it nodular disease?
|
Please help me.... I'm a relatively new fishkeeper and started off with
a moor and oranda...the moor died within a week and had four white lumps
on his body which i mistakingly took as ich.
My tank has been going for two months now and the oranda which i bought
with the dead moor developed a huge white lump on its top fin (which had
been clamped down for weeks) and after another huge lump started to
develop on her side i spent an hour researching and put it down to
NODULAR DISEASE and humanely disposed of the fish straight away so as
to save the others.
A week later.....my healthy-looking oranda has two small white lumps on
its head. It's not cauliflower-like and matches the appearence of the
lump on the dead oranda.
This fish seems perfectly healthy! Water quality is good.
There are left in my tank a moor, the oranda, a comet and normal
goldfish and a chinese hillstream loach.
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED! Thankyou

I dont know what nodular disease is. never heard of it.
white lumps are most often 1. cool water, lymphocystis. a virus and actually a wart.
cant be treated but not lethal either. or 2. epistylis a parasite thrives in poor
quality warm water. treated with water changes.
