Hi
My male cacatuoides has recently grown some weird growths on its back fins (white) and a single black one on its top fin.
I was away for Xmas for 2 weeks so it’s been the longest time that they have gone without a water change, although no other fish in the community tank of 30 fish has any signs of illness or anything and we’re all fine when I returned.
My LFS said that it’s not fungal but just some growth that can be brushed off with the fingers, which I tried today really delicately. But they didn’t come off and do actually feel like bumps/growths on the fins. I thought maybe fin rot but none of the other fish have anything.
Anyway if anyone has any idea that would be great, and how to treat please. He’s stopped eating the last 24 hours and is just now sitting at the bottom not really swimming.
Thanks
Mil
