so, noticing 2 white dots on a blenny of mine, I separated and went through ick treatment...but, then the bumps got larger and had a nipple-like top and I noticed him scraping the rocks trying to get it off....and I tried a bacteria-based oil treatment, and now, it’s getting larger....both the spots are raised.
i attempted to get photos...water clarity is an issue due to airbubbles,saltwater,and the treatment oil.
i have never had a fish with a growth....was assuming it was parasite and would fall off and I’d vacuum up and thought it’d be easy in quarantine.
its been 4-5 weeks roughly...I’ve tried raising the temperature a little, over that time but didn’t want to stress him out being away from the others...
I was also considering/wondering what would happen if I tried to pull the two spots off...fast like a bandaid...i feel like 2 small raw spots healing would be better than 2 parasitic creatures eating my poor fish.
more photos at better quality ASAP...just don’t know what it is and I can’t treat it if I can’t figure it out.
thanks for your help in advance!
