Weird white lumps on fish.
« on: July 15, 2012, 09:08:55 PM »
I've noticed that some of the fish in my tank have some random white lumps on either there fins or on there body. Im not sure if it is a parasite or what. The one fish has it under its mouth the other on its fin then on one its face. I think that they might just be from just typical aggression its the typical ones I see squabbling like my borleyi and Midnight Mloto. Looks nothing like columnaris I will be doing a 40% water change tomorrow so we will see what goes on with but hoping its nothing major.

I did see it one time before and it was after my Zebra Long Pelvic Galleria Reef start to spawn witch happened again today so it could be the male keeping the others from his girl. If I could get go pics I will ad them.

I'd suspect abrasions over fighting.
