My pleco has developed yellowish white growths on its fins that I can best describe as looking like egg masses. Can anyone tell me what they are? I initially treated with coppersafe and maroxy. Within one day of starting initial maroxy treatment the growths started to go away, but they came back a couple of days after completing maroxy treatment. I am currently treating with maroy and melafix with no change in the growths.

That is odd, i couldnt say for sure, these things are they moving if you look closely, wondering if there a parasite?or maybe something like cotton wool, what type of conditions is this plec kept in? filteration/tank size/tank mates/has tank been fully matured.....???
 
Do the yellow growth look like a cluster of berrys or cauliflower. Do search on lymthocystis.
Do the yellow growths look like small yellow spots like velvet or yellow grub desease.

Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
