Hey Everyone:
I picked up an NTT a few weeks ago. He is about 8-9", active, and eats market shrimp and FD Shrimp aggressively. Heathy overall. I visually check my fishes everyday, and today I discovered two pimples on his head-- which were not there yesterday morning. They look like they are ready to burst, so I pulled him out of the tank and am in the process of placing him into quarantine.
I have attached a few pics. Can anyone tell me about what this is and the proper way to treat it? For now, I'll be adding some salt and keep temps around 82F and hope that whatever it is will run its course. Never had a fish with this before. Hope its not too contangious to the other fishes.
Water Params are: Temp 80 / Nitrate 10 ppm / Nitrite 0 / Ammonia 0 / pH 6.8. I do about a 25-33% water change weekly, and the tank is 210 gal. Tankmates consists of a blk aro around 15"; a 9-10" NTT, 2 smaller 4-5" NTT and a 5-6" Indo Dat.
Any info will be appreciated! Thanks!
