Weird Thing On Swordtail

[mnbyiuopre]

I noticed today that there was something sticking out on the side of my swordtail. It is right above where the gravid spot would be. It is pinkish but also kinda clear. It's about 3/4 of a cm wide and long although not a complete square or circle. More of a semi-oval. Everything is finein the tank water conditions, no new additions, etc. Not exactly sure what it is. She doesn't rub against anything and it doesn't seem to be bothering her.

Can you get a pic.
So its oval shape and pinky clear thing, columnaris can come in pink.

I don't think it is columnaris. I'll try to get a pic soon though. It's more a a slightly protruding substance that looks like a scale. It's WAY too big for a scale though.

If its not coming from the anus it could be bacterial.
Best thing is to issolate the fish so it dosn't burst in the tank, as it could infect the other fish.
I would try a bacterial med on the fish for now.

I couldn't get any meds but by 2 days ago it was completely gone. 0_o Not sure exactly what it was but it's gone and not on any other fish! It's weird how it disappeared because she was pregnant and it started to get smaller the day before birth. By the next day when all of her fry were out it was completely gone! I thought that was kinda weird since it wasn't anything you get with pregnant fish.

Ask in the livebearers section they might know.
Glad the fish is ok.
