Spot on my new fish

[Mr. Thingdoer]

Can anybody help me identify this single bump on my Midas Blenny?
It appears flesh colored, or possibly lighter. It's also about 1/16" in diameter.
I need to figure out how to treat this, but can't seem to be able to identify it.

Could it be some type of fluke?

Bumps like that usually go away on my fish.

If you intend to quarantine it, getting a Midas out of tank with live rock will be difficult. You'll probably need to take out the rock it hides in. I used to remove the rock while the blenny was still in it and then transfer fish/rock to the other tank entirely. The thing just would not leave the rock, water or not.

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

It showed up the day after I added him to the dt. I originally thought it was a fluke, but appears more like a pimple. I read about something called lymphcyst, or something like that, but ruled that out as well. I think its a fish pimple, and like puffer said will hopefully just go away. I'm just going to keep an eye on him.

I guess Jesus wanted to put him in his fish tank up in the sky....

that sucks man!!! sorry

 

[johnatan2007]

sorry to hear.

 

[Ragby]

Oh man, sorry to hear, I lost a midas blenny once and it was heartbreaking.

Bring it bqack to CR & tell them this was an ongoing problem since you got him. They may replace it, even though it's past it's guarantee. Best guy to talk to is Glen & he's there on Tuesdays.

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

I went back today and I've been dealing with Mitch. He's been helpful, and seems like a real nice guy. They had another one that we inspected real well. I got a discount, so I'm giving it another shot.

Good luck with the Midas. I purchased a Midas from there a couple of weeks ago, and it is doing fine.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Very good PR there!

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

I'm getting worried about this one now. He's been in hiding since I added him.
He's scared of me, so I have to feed the tank and hide so that he'd come out to eat. Today I fed the tank, and haven't seen him come out yet.

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

I see him under a rock, but he's not responding. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!! It's not my husbandry either. My params are absolutely perfect. All my other fish, clam, and SPS are healthy.

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

Both of these fish came from the same place, and the same shipment. It's been emotionally, and financially draining.

How disappointing

 

[Mr. Thingdoer]

What am I supposed to do now? This fish died less than 2 days.

i'd shop somewhere else.
