I happen to have a quarantine tank right now ( one of the 10 gallons I over flowed several weeks ago, ) same hard water… I’m going to move this fish, and if anyone has a recommendation for medication???

transferred her right away to the empty 10 gallon…

It seems large for Ich. Epistylis? Cysts from injuries?

Clean water...

as clean as I can with what comes out of my well… I don’t think it’s damage from over zealous males, but they could have complicated the situation???
I thought it looked like a cyst, and didn’t want it to break open in that tank, with all the babies in there… thoughts on a medication??

Weird . I had that exact same thing on some female Endler’s about a year or so ago and I thought it was ich too . I used salt and it eventually went away but it threw a scare into me . It never spread and the males never had it , only the females and not all of them .
