cheesy feet
Fish Aficionado
About a month and a half ago my pearsei and other fish were constantly being sucked and fed on by the CAE.All the fish recovered but a week later it seemed as though my pearsei had developed a lymphocytis viral infected where he was sucked on (upper frontal body), It appeared that a lumpy whitish growth was growing, it looked as though it was pushing a few scales forward and was growing (from what i could/can see outwords).The white growth was outlined by reddining of the tissue.
So I looked up diseases and it seems lymphocytis is the best match.I couldn't transfer all unifected fish to a tank as currently I have not got one large enough for this (the disease can infest itself in the tanks water, therefore removing all unifected fish is the way to go).So, I set up my tropiqaurium 88 shoved some cycled media in and plopped him in (a week after seeing the initial infectiom), he's fine in the way he's eating and acting normally, but the infection seems to be slowly getting worse.It has spread to his lower jaw, which at the moment is inflamed and reddend but the growths arn't showing at the outside.Just today I noticed a small white berry growth on his body a few inches farther back then the first infection (which seems to be staying the same, part of the white growth part has fallen off).I have been doing water changes every 3 days, to suck the mess and to maintain good water.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do, she is my favorite fish and I really wouldn't want to loose her.Especially since he is nearly 10 inches in length.Instead of the mainly herbivorous diet do you think I should switch to a more meaty one, to boost her immune system maybe?
