Could be lymphocystosis or a fungal infection. Hard to tell from the picture.

Looks like


Lymphocyctis virus. This virus induces massive cells to form which appear grossly as grayish-white masses on the fins and gills. Such abnormal cells may also be found in the muscle and body cavity.
May be confused with chlamydia infections (epitheliocystis), parasitic cysts or sarcomas. Infections are usually self-limiting and may spontaneously clear of their own accord.



I am assuming i should just keep feeding well and watching but take no other action than that. Sound like a good plan or would you do something differently?

Thank for your help Downbeach and h2so4hurts

Yeah, the treatment for fungus and lympho is really just keep the water quality high and feed a balanced diet. If it is fungal, dips in malachite green will help get rid of it faster. You'll know if it's fungal if it gets puffier and turns greyish.
