hi, i have a gourami with white lumps on either side of his fin at top. he also developing puffy eye, we have ut him in hospital tank and added bacteria meds until someone tells us what it is... looks like small boney lumps same place each side.
 
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

The lumps on the fins do they look like a cauliflower or cluster of berries.
Do the lumps look hard or soft like filled with puss.
Any redness to the lump.
Do the lumps look smooth.
Is it possible to load a pic up of the lumps.
Are the fish eyes bulging out.
 
bristlenose
striped dori
3 tetra
apple snail
2 gourami dwarf
male platy
60 l tank all stats on minimum on the colour chart.

temp 26.c


2 white lumps look hard and white with no red, like bone sticking out or a ball under scales.
eye bulging out on one side.
cant get pics at min, enormous long poo.
 
Does the bone thing you say look like a parasite, Does it have a forked tail.
You will need to add a bacterial med for the popeye and not melafix.

I would try and load a pic up as not quite sure what you mean.
Do you mean the lumps look bony under the scales.
 
the lump looks like it could be a boney ball coming out from under scales. when u see it u want to squeeze it. treated with bacteria meds
 
What bacterial med did you use and how long.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
 
no signs of rubbing or flicking
tetra medica all we have to hand .....
 
Never heard of that med before.
Does the med work in warmer temps as it for goldifsh which are coldwater fish.

I would remove the med with a water change and run some black carbon.
Then treat with anti internal bacteria med by interpet.
If the lump is a tumour there no cure.
