Pearl gourami tb?

[Bichir Bro]

Ok, my male pearl gourami has very recently developed a small bump right above his eye. I could not think of any diagnosis but TB however he has not had any other symptoms (yet) of it so I am stumped. Anyone have a clue what it could be? Pics will follow soon

 

[Bichir Bro]

I cannot get a picture because the bump is too small to make out with my crappy canera

does it look like his eyeball is popping out?

 

[Bichir Bro]

Nope, nothin, he's acting fine eating fine and still amazingly colored. I have been doing aggressive water changes do to a recent ick outbreak along with some aquarium salt routine and the ick went away in a week. I don't know what it is, it's just this tiny little bump a few centimeters above his eye

 

[Bichir Bro]

None of my well anyone is showing signs of well anything. If its tb its supposed to spread ungodly fast so I don't see how no one else has shown any small bumps

 

[Bichir Bro]

Just as this happens my tiger barbs begin to display breeding behaviors and re pairing off.
My luck. :/

does it look cloudy at all? do a quick search of columnaris and let me know if thats what it looks like. if it is tb, i would be extremely careful doing maintenance/putting your hands in the water. it can be transferred to humans

 

[Bichir Bro]

No it's not cloudy, I've had columiaris before and know its symptoms and it ain't it. And I did a water change today with my hands all in the water and everything. Well crap.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Although I do wash my hands quickly after each change

 

[Bichir Bro]

I looked up other symptoms and nothing but the bump matches. He ain't loosing any fins, no curved spine, no lose of color or scales

 

[Bichir Bro]

And I have my tb vaccination, does this help

 

[Bichir Bro]

He isn't loosing fins at all, his color continues to get better and he's also growing back some fins he lost do to columiaris

 

[Bichir Bro]

Anyone......any ideas?

 

[aquandrew]

has he been acting lethargic? the best thing to do at this point is 50% daily water changes. it could be a tumor

 

[Bichir Bro]

Ok he has no curved spine or anything just that tiny little bump. He's not lost any color whatsoever and like I said some of his fins are healing and growing back. And what do you mean by lethargic

 

[Bichir Bro]

If you mean sick, no. He's happy as can be. He's eating like a pig along side my paradise and tiger barbs. He's friendly, always swims up to me, doesn't bother anyone and he usually sticks with my paradise gourami.

 

[Bichir Bro]

I'll just sit here...alone...with my thread...someone anyone please respond. <---halo lol

There's no need to post multiple times. People will see your thread and come to it if they think they can help. No need to bump until at least 24 hours has gone by with no help.
Is it popeye? Or is it directly above the eye?

 

[Bichir Bro]

Directly above said eye
