Anyone know what these are ???

Hello Everyone. I have a a question. iw as wondering if soemone could help me with this problem im having. My Balloon Molly appeared to have a ornage color streak through her tail and white streaks through her fins. I went to the pet store and bought some ICK medicine. I admisterd the medication as stated and its still appeared. Then i went back to the store and asked the Fish person. They said my fish had soem other parasite. I bought different medication and admisterd that as well. The same day i noticed these bubbles formed on the orange streak. Now its seems to get worse. Can anyone pelase help and let me know if they had this happened to them before. I feel helpless. Any comments will help. Thank you.

I've never had anything that sounds like that. A better picture might help. Try back up a little bit. If you notice that your plants behind the fish are in focus while the fish aren't. We have the same problems there sometimes. I'll do whatever I can to help. Go here: http/fish.orbust.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10266 it talks about the different diseases (not all) that your fish could get.

Thanks ill check out that site. The pic i posted shows the fishes tail and those bubbles are attached there. Im gonna attach another pic .. Thanks for yah comment.

Geez, are those bubble on it's tail really that big? It might be part of it's anatomy, but I doubt it. Take a look into external parasites. The bubbles appear real fuzzy. Umm, if you're real concerned about it, I've heard of people just removing affected fins arreas. I personally never have.

yeah those bubbles are really that big. I actually took a pin and popped the bubbles but now they are forming in betwen the tail creases. It might be possiable to remove the fishes fin where its located, but i dont want to hurt the poor fish. A good sign is that shes not distressed. I do notice those red lines or blood streaks through her sides of her body. hmm this virus is confusing the hellout of me.. Thanks for yah comments.

wow i have never seen anythig like that before!!

Its definatly not ick.

The bubbles could be cycts that are fluid filled. why they are there but the red streaks in the body and fins could be Hemorrhagic Septicemia and here is a link that might help or here dont know if it is but the symptoms sure sound like it. As mentioned a closer picture may help.
