Little white lump on panda Cory gills?

[Shifty1303]

Hi all,

Anyone know what this little white lump is on my pandas right side between Gill and fin? Not seen this before. Thought it was fungus from a distance but looks more solid like a little piece of cream cheese or something.

Also please excuse the algae

I would guess a type of fungus.

The other panda cory in the picture looks like it has a cream/ grey colour to the back half of its body. Is that correct or is it the picture?
If the 2nd cory does have a cream/ grey discolouration to its body then there is either a water quality issue or a protozoan infection affecting them.

I've always treated spots like these as bacterial, and have had good results with esha 2000, if you can get it, which does also treat fungal infections as well, so you'd be covered on both fronts anyway, if either Colin or I is wrong!
