I just noticed this today as I was gone all day yesterday. One of my female guppies has what appears to be a white fuzzy "bump/growth" on her stomach region (I have attached pictures).
The tank is:
40 gallons, heavily planted w/weekly 30% water changes
Nitrites, nitrates and ammonia are all at 0ppm
Filters: Fluval AquaClear 70 + Finnex refugium (filled with Fluval matrix and Biohome sintered glass media)
Stock: 1 male dwarf gourami, 6 albino glowlight tetras, 6 harlequin rasboras, 2 platies, 3 guppies (1 male, 2 females), 3 ottos + ~6 dwarf shrimp and assorted snails
No new fish have been added to the tank within the last 4-5 months and I've never had any illnesses in the tank.
Am I dealing with columnaris? If so, what's the best treatment plan? Should I remove the affected guppy to a quarantine tank and medicate there or should I medicate the entire tank? (I'm concerned for my plants, inverts, and ottos)
If it's not columnaris, what might it be?
