Help!!! Lump on Cichlid

[VRWC]

Its hard to tell from those pictures, but it looks to be lymphocystis.

Does it look cauliflower-ish?

Lymph is usually brought on by stress. Is he fighting with tankmates? Or is there someone in the tank harassing him 24/7?

Heres a link to all the threads on MFK related to lymph with a bunch of opinions/ views on what should be done.

For starters, get him in a stress free environment (it could be parameters of the tank as well as tankmates, so mkae sure nitrates/nitrites/ammonia are all fine if you havent.)

Good Luck!

It doesn't look like what they have in those photo's, the best way to describe it is as a pimple

Hey mate
Im having similar problems with my texas. He is larger than yours and gets hassled quite a bit.

Here is the link to my post. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...-like-lumps-on-my-texas&highlight=lumps+texas

Ive had no replies and no help and its getting worse with larger redder lumps forming and they are all on his fins.

Did you find a solution?
