so my indo dat has developed these bumps on his face. they were just swollen for a few days and now i get home and theres a couple more little ones and one big one with a white cap. almost like a white head.

the only thing i can think of is the wild caught minnows ive been feeding. i also house a small mouth and large mouth bass..they dont have any issues.
im treating with pimafix cuirrently...what else should i do, anyone know what this is and if so should i be worried?
 
Man... that is not good... I saw this happen to some LFS NTT's. Did not look good. The NTTs were gone the next time I came back.... dunno if they died or were quarantined.

Another reason for me not to feed feeders...
 
Yeah my indo develop it too. But not a white bump or anything. Just a bump on the side of it body and inside the skin. Notice this for a while now. But he eating normal and is active. what is the advice all the bro here can give on this?
 
I had two of my indo with the same bump. I added bunch of salt, turn up the temp to 85ish, keep water super clean. I did 50% water change twice a week. As long as they still eatting, there is still hope

When did they get this and how long have you been treating it?
 
I've had this happen to some of my dats. Water change 50% once a week and add salt everytime....This seem to help with mine. And i dont feed my dats feeders so i has to be from the water. The one bump with the whitehead will pop on its own and the others if they are red will go down. You can add pimafix that will help. All the bumps mine ever got went away on there own with just doing what i did. GL

For Dats...combination therapy. [Parasite Clear + Triple Sulfa].
