THIS IS SOME DiSEASE THERES NO INFO ON HELP MY MIDAS!
in the possible cyst post he writes it IS hole in the head i think he meant to writed isnt??
this aint hih right!
before my midas first pimple burst ive nuked the full community with a full dose of meth blue, what do i do now????
any info people please asap, really dont want my midas and whole community to die of some random worm pimple outbreak!!!!!
forward this post to the top gurus immediatly
thanks justin......
 
sorry to hijack this forum but its where the people are, need to rally a group effort to save 'carlsberg' the midas!!!!
he has a disease/parasite i cant id anywhere on the web exept in another post on monster fish today (after three days of searching all evening) where the fish died after a six month struggle!
 
yeah wont be able to really help without picks and params
 
temp 80 deg everything else is good, well filtered, airiated, regular water changes... all the other fish are fine. i bought the midas about a week ago and he was fine, but not eating, put it down to the move. ive just tried to get some pics but hes being shy and staying in his cave also the tank being heavily dosed with methylene blue< doesnt help... in the post below you can see on the fh what it is.... it was like a large human spot/zit then burst within a day leaving a long grain rice shaped piece of white stuff hanging out with a whispy end, its about 6mm long and three wide, theres a second one next to it thats smaller... before it burst i dose the tank with meth blue cause i couldnt identify it glad i did, think if that kills it ive got in early...... in the other post below on this forum the owner explains more of im sure what i have to come!!!

the closest thing ive found online is mainly in koi called 'Dermocystidium' its symptoms seem the same exept the pics look different???? think its similar
 
It sounds like some sort of parasite. Try adding some salt to the tank and do a few 50% water changes.
 
if it were my fish....i would quarantine it and use clout
