I treated this goldfish with 2 courses of Fluval for septicemia back in July. The veins haven't faded from that but he has a bump or this weird creme colored pimple on his tail right in that same area where his veins started turning red with the septicemia. Make sense? I've taken a few pictures. In this photo you can see the pimple-like thing on the far right hand bottom of it. Same thing on the 2nd photo.

No sorry.
What colour is the lump as I sure I can see some green.
Lumps that look like a cauliflower or a cluster of berries are called sorry can't spell it without looking at that article I left you.
Lymphocystis
 
It's just one so far and it's creme-colored. Could he be more prone to that I wonder since he's had septicemia. He's had 2 courses of Fluval for that..
 
Ok bless him.
You could try another bacterial med for the septicemia but not sure on meds in france.
 
Thanks for the suggestion Wilder. I don't know if you ever saw the Coneheads over in the UK? They were on Saturday night Live and then they had a movie too... They always said "we're not aliens... we"re from France" even though they had pointed heads.... I found a stocking container when I was cleaning out drawers one day so made Willie the cat into a conehead..
I'm going to think seriously on starting Fluval again or would you suggest trying another one?
 
What are your present water stats.
Just want to ask is the fish still going to the toilet.
I would try another med if you think the one you used didn't do much.
 
Rats! I've run out test things! Yes I think he's still going... not sure though. It looks like the swelling has popped so materials inside have gone out. I vacuumed them tonight so they're clean for a little while.....

Thanks alot Wilder!
