I recently noticed today that one of my female guppies had a sort of whitish bump on one side of her.
She still eats during feeding, and acts fine, but the bump really worries me.
Does anyone know what disease this is? And how i should treat it?
ammonia = 0 ppm
I don't have a test kit for nitrates or nitrites, but i will test it at my LFS tomorrow.
tank size - 30 gallon
6 guppies, a few guppy fry, and one Siamese algae eater
30% water changes done every week
I don't really think it's dropsy because it's only on one side of the fish, but i'm not sure if it is columnaris or not.
Also, I was planning to add salt to the tank to try to make sure the other fish don't get sick as well, but I could not find exactly how much salt the SAE could tolerate on the web, only that bottom feeders can't tolerate as much salt. If anyone has numbers on that, it would be greatly appreciated.
I will get my quarantine tank set up just in case i need it.
