Been noticing this was un sure of what it is.

Right now there in Copper at 0.45 have been for 2 weeks.

But this stuff seems to besomething different as it has got worse while in QT / copper?

I have some PraziPro but i was going to use that 3 weeks from now.

My Question is what is it and can it wait until copper treatment is done?

Here are some pics.

There not the best pics my 14MP camara will not keep them in focus while there moving..

You can see it on the top fin.

The other clown has it on it's face

Looks like lympho to me, it's viral and should resolve itself once conditions improve. The only concern would be if the growth on the mouth prevents the fish from eating, and in rare cases removing the growth is required. This isn't generally recommended since removal can actually cause the virus to spread, similar to warts in humans.
 
Thx!

I had a Velvet out break lost 8 fish i was able to save 5 of them including the 2 clowns.

They have been in copper 2 weeks now and have 3 weeks left.

Then ill treat with PraziPro.

This stuff looks like a white fungus on there skin. Hopefully the PraziPro takes it out.

One of the clowns also has Stringy poop which is worms?

I had to treat the most life treatning thing first the Velvet with the copper hopefully there ok and make it to the PraziPro treatment and return to healthy happy fish.
 
PP is a wormer and won't do anything with the lympho. Rea17's post above explains the lympho, usually nothing to worry about.
