I bought this Piraya from Pedro like a month and a half ago and he's had these dots on the fin in front of his caudal fin, I think its call the Adipose fin? What is this and What can I do to help. I've tried adding salt and that didn't work, and I checked all my parameters and they were good. Should I go with a stronger salt treatment or get medicine? It hasn't gotten any worse since I got him. Thanks for the help

Very difficult to see from the pic but does the growth look white and hard? Kinda like ich but bigger? It could be lymphocystis. Do a search on this forum for more info on lympho.

yeah it's white and it looks hard. What do you think I should treat it with?

Well I just searched for what you told me Don and it looks as if there's nothing I can do. I don't have my other tank set up right now so I can't move him. He lives with 9 other RBP's and they haven't shown any signs of it. It has been like 1.5-2 months now and it hasn't gotten worse and none of the other P's got it. I guess I'll just wait it out unless anyone has any other suggestions.
