Help: Clear / Transparent white bumps on Firefish
My newly aquired purple firefish has developed clear / transparent white bumps on it.
Does anyone have a clue what they may be? They do not look like ich as they are smooth and raised and not fuzzy and flat. It still eats and swims around, but normally the fins are retracted and it hide a fair bit.

Hard to tell from the images. But you can google for lymphocystis to confirm. If it is lymphocystis, not much you can do but provide a good water quality, no stress and quality food. It will go away given those conditions.

The bumps dont really match the description of lymphocystis. They look like small clear flatworms, and they only show up on this fish. No where else that I can see.

Well the "spots" have moved, so its time to prazipro the tank.
I keep a jug on hand for my discus, so thats a nice simple fix. Bottle sayes 30ml per 200 gallons Woooh a whopping 1.25ml for this tank...
