Lymphocystis

Hi,

I have been posting in emergencies about this and was advised to try on here.
I have a dwarf neon rainbow fish with cauliflower disease and would like to know if anybody has had experience with this in their tanks.

I have read about it on different websites and some give different advice than others.

I know there are some clever people on this forum so hopefully somebody can help.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

My Congo tetra had this. Don't have anything positive to tell you though. I left it alone for a few weeks but then it seemed to be growing so tried some antibacterial meds. He looked like he was recovering, the lumps got smaller but then he developed red streaks and tail rot so I had to euthanase him. Sorry can't be more help.

Thanks for your reply,

I have also tried a bacterial med which hasn't helped, my fish has had it for a month and the spots havn't got any bigger or smaller.

I am just looking for some ideas to help her before euthanase. I know it's a viral condition and seachems paraguard says it can be used for this so I thought I would give it a try.

Anybody else who has experience with this condition could you please let me know.
