My largest panda cory, just shy of one inch, has a large white lump at the base of his left pectoral fin. The lump is about the size of a bb. It is mostly opaque white, and has a smooth texture. It really looks like some sort of growth under the fish's skin. The fish seems to not be affected too much by it. It continues to swim around in panda cory fashion.
Tank information
The tank is a 55 gallon has been up and running for 2 months or and it was seeded from an cycled 20 gallon.
The water tests at
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
10 to 20 nitrates
and is roughly 79-80 degrees
I do weekly partial water changes of 10 gallons. All water is treated with Prime before it is poured into the tank.
The stocking list:
1 x 5" angel fish (body is the same size as the gold sevrum)
1 x 5" gold sevrum
1 x 5" rainbow shark
1 x 4" clown pleco
3 x 1" panda cory
3 x 1" julii cory
3 x 1" zebra danio
The tank has a ugf and a aquaclear 110. 110 has the foam and the ceramic bio rings. I have not put in the carbon.
Any suggestions? I was going to put him in the qt tank, but my wife is concerned about him going in by himself, the three pandas are always together darting around and playing. Unlike the three julii's which hide almost as much as the pleco.
