Something is growing on my dwarf puffer. It looked like a "wart" on left side of it's stomach last week but it's its mutated a bit as its gone to the side of it's mouth (no longer on the stomach area). Now there appears to be a different looking small patch on his left fin and a protrusion near his right jaw (looks like a wart). She's active and still eating (tail not curled and color seems good)
I see it just on one of the 3 DPF's. I know if I wait for it to stop eating it will be too late so should I try and isolate and treat it even though I don't know what it is? Should I treat it in the tank with the rest? Should I not do anything at all?
Tank has been running about 6 months with other fish but I revamped it with DPF's last month. The DPF's have been in there for about 4 weeks.
10 gallon with 3 DPF's, 2 Otto's, and 1 amano shrimp. Lots of plastic plants and a few bundles of anacharis.
According to Petco my Nitrites, Nitrates, and Ammonia are better than there's (sure that's not saying much but I didn't get the numbers)
Prime for dechlorinator
50% water changes weekly
78-80 degrees
PH is 7.6
Frozen Blood Worms although i did feed them live blood worms from a reputable source as a treat for a few days.
Many Thanks for what insight you can provide!!!
