I just bought my Tat last Saturday and he has what looks to be parasites, It does not look like ich because it is larger white lumps more like warts. And they stand off of the fish and there are about 4 of them on one fin and 2 on the body, I've never seen this on any fish before. Are these injuries from fights or shipping? Or is it a parasite?

86 degrees, loads and loads of air/surface agitation and salt. you'll find the correct dosing by doing a search.
Tat's are very delicate and most parasite meds can be an issue. In the UK we don't have it, but I have heard that Jungle Lads may be ok but try the non-medical option first. Oh, and don't use just standard table salt.

Can't do WC's currently since I need a new python, But I'm going to buy some salt tomorrow along with some Silversides so I'll see if I can squeeze in a python.

Well I guess I could do it the old fashioned way... With a pitched LOL. 10% should not be too bad with a pitcher.
Can you post a picture of the "lumps" - could be a few things from parasite egg cysts to a disease called Lymphocystis or just the onset of Ichthyophthirius heck if it's a one time deal could just be airbubbles - we need a visual or it's all just a guess.
