small lumps on fins???!!!!

[jayclarke]

Hi,
some of my cichlids have got small lumps on there tail and pectoral fins, they look like white/clear bubbles. I first noticed it on my rainbows a few months ago but as it never got any worse i forgot about it. Now my Texas, GT and Sal seem to have them. They dont bother the fish but i dont want it to escalate. My parameters are PH 6.8, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40ppm, and temp. 26oC.
Can anyone identifiy this problem please? Thanks

im not sure exactly what it is but id look into melafix of pimafix there nonabrasive and should clear it up... probably some sort of fungus also add salt and turn the temp up

Do they look anything like this?

The small white bumps at the base.

I actually have no idea and would like the question answered myself. I noticed them on one of my midas and couldn't figure out what they were.

any white bumps ive encountered on fish fins were usually just scars from injuries.

I have a large angel fish with the same. Been there a long time, and doesn't seem to spread, nor bother the fish.
