Hi, my gold severum has almost mirrored white growths projecting around its eyes and it is not acting sick. We just noticed these tonight after having this fish for a while. Any ideas? Lymphocystis?

Could be lymphocystis. Would increase your water changes to weekly. Make sure it’s eating and keep your water cycled and nitrates below 20ppm. . Viral in nature. No specific treatment.
