Advice needed for white cotton like affliction

[ThaBeast]

I have a small female watanabei with a cotton like substance primarily on fins, a bit on her side. She went through TTM without issue, gained a couple of spots on her tail shortly after prazipro treatment in observation tank. I thought it looked similar to lympho, but it appears to be getting worse. She is still eating but not as well as she was a couple of days ago. What should I treat with?

I haven't been able to take a reasonable photo of her condition & haven't found any pics online resembling her affliction.

Forgot to add no signs of flashing or scratching

It sounds like lympho, but without a photo diagnosis is difficult.

Will try to photo again in the morning...shortened light cycle in tank to lower stress

Looks like lympho. It will go away on its own with good water quality and diet. It's a virus, so there's not much else you can do.

^agree...lympho. Keep the water pristine and you may want to add vitamins to his food.

Thanks guys....most awful looking case of lympho I ever saw. I'll step up the water changes, change carbon in the QT weekly, and add vitamins. I have selcon & zeovit's immunstabil & fish amminos on hand

Let us know how he does

i was thinking the same thing...really bad case of lympho. the selcon will help a lot. my kole tang went through a bout of this while in qt. i started using selcon and vitachem and he recovered quickly.

good luck with him!

Where did you get this fish. I had a female from watanabei DD that had the same thing just not as bad. I was able to get it cleared up by putting her in my DT where water conditions were much better than in my QT.

Just an update, selcon soaked food & large water changes seem to be helping, fish looks a bit better today

 

[Newsmyrna80]

Good to hear. Can you post a pic?

 

[ThaBeast]

I will as she continues to recover. Still hiding most of the time, but feeding more aggressively and some of the lympho on her body is gone now

 

[ThaBeast]

She is much better, she was out begging for food as I worked on the other qt tank this morning
