White Lump / QT Duration

[Cynic]

Hi all,

I currently have a neon netra in a QT tank as it has a small white lump on it's head.

Now I'm currently treating with Pimafix under the assumption it's fungal as well as the usua; 50% water changes.

Now this has been going on around 4-5 days now and I've seen no progress on the lump.

Now the fish seems unconcerned at this stage.

How long should I continue Pimafix treatment and how long should I keep the fish in QT? I know there's no hard and fast rules for this kind of stuff but any suggestions are appreciated

Cheers in advance

Is it fuzzy or cottony looking? If it is, it may be bacterial infection rather than a fungus & should be treated accordingly. Or is it a lump under the skin that protrudes outward? This may be a parasite. Do not move anybody out of qt until the issue has been id'd & properly treated. Pics will help!

Thanks jlk (Should just make that my signature -.-)

Will get pictures tonight...it seems to be simply a solid lump on the side of the fish...I don't think it's under the skin.
