What is this?

[em1981ma]

My ryukin has skin tags on her tail they disappear and reappear weeks later. They are white with red around the white skin tag. I've just treated for ich. Although this doesn't look quite like ich. Hard to get a PIC. I have done three dozes of parazin p in past for these. No success. She doesn't seem to be affected by this and v.healthy eats v well and no abnormal behaviour.
I'll attach pics. But not easy to get them.

Do they show up on the spines of the fins?

I just had Google on line at fish anatomy. Yes I believe they are. I will have a good look tonight after work.

They do appear to show up on the thin lines on the tail and fins.

Could be minor injury damage to those which forms a small nodule or cyst. I've seen these on the angel fish every so often. They turn up and go eventually.

I'm not aware of any issues with these but would be good to get a second opinion.

Are you seeing any red lines or red streaks radiating off (or out from) the skin tags? That might indicate some minor bacterial infection which I thought to mention just in case.

I don't think its cause by an injury. These nodules 'skin tags' have appeared 3 times now they disappear and come back in different places on the tail and fins. Had 3 occurances like once every four weeks roughly. Hence why I treated 3 times with parazin p and then ich. But there larger than ich. Only affecting the fins. Nothing on body. Like a white skin tag surrounded by redness. A circle of red. I thought at first it was a white worm. But isn't looks nothing like anchor worm. No one else in my tank has this. I would assume if it was a parasite by now. Others would be affected.

Lymphocystis- Someone on here mentioned this to me before and im beginning to suspect it is this as i have treated for parasites several times. I have to hope this will eventually go away by itself. Looks like theres not particular cure.

 

[Delapool]

Could be to. Yeah, unfortunately no cure really.

What is this. I've used anti fungus and finrot. To no avail. All meds just make him bottom sit. Using parazin p caused all his problems. He developed slime coat then was bullied and tail was ripped apart . irehomed bullies. His tail is healing v well. But these appeared. And his getting more of the skintag type things on tail just like ryukin. She would hover near him when he would bottom sit.

I've used so many meds in the last month or so. I would rather not use any.

I'm thinking its viral. Rather than paradsite. As other two Goldie's haven't got. This is third time ryukin has this Skintags she's normal in behaviour. Perhaps moor was infected via open wounds from the tail splits. Apparently no cure for lympo viral infections. Waters v good. Tested today. 0am 0 nitirite. Nitrate 5-10ppm.
