So my bumble bee has developed this growth on his nose. Not too sure what it is or how to treat it. Anyone dealt with this before? (Sorry, best photos I could get...he's a quick one)ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1458375661.767791.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1458375702.302186.jpg

It is called lymphocitis, its like a virus or fish cancer something lol its not really contagious nor fatal to my knowledge tho they do seem to slowly get worse to a point....my guppies would get it from time to time, like a pimple.
 
Is there anything I can do for it?

A pimple is a much better comparison. Not much I know that you can do about it other than keep pristine water conditions with lots of water changes!
