Lymphocystis?

[RegalAngel]

Received my Blue Face and Majestic last Thursday(2/11) from DD, and they have been in hiding alot in their PVC hotel suites much of the time in the QT. Both are eating well, But....

Here is a photo of the Blue Face's right pectoral fin with white glob on it.

Is this Lymphocystis? If so any treatment or just observe and continue. Majestic is fine.

That looks like Lymphocystis. There is no "cure", and it will usually go away on its own within two to three months. In a few rare cases, I've seen it involve the mouth of the fish and inhibit proper feeding, but I wouldn't worry about that with the angelfish. There are about a bazillion "cures" out there, and funny thing, most of them do work - in two to three months!

It'll go away. It took a month for my Majestic to finally get it off his lip. Still ate like a pig regardless. What helped for me is that I did a 50% water change every 4-5 days for a month. My Majestic was in a 12 gallon QT for that long too.

I always use UV against virusus, if only to prevent spread.
