What's this on my fish's fins???

[rvm]

I have an eartheater that I got at the weekend. I noticed that on his fin (the ones on the side at the front, dunno what they are called. Its' Nemos little fin!!!!) he has a small growth of some type. It looks like a little white blob. I can't really describe it much better than that sorry!!! I tried to get a pic, but he won't keep still long enough!!
Any way, I'm a bit concerned about it. He seems to be eating ok as when I come home from work, the gravel is spilled all ove the tank. He's a bit shy of me, but that's to be expected as he's new, but could it be fungus or anything like that???

Those are his pectoral fins, are you talking about that little white dot?

 

[rvm]

yes, but it looks a little worse than that up close!!

EDIT: It looks almost like a small bit of cotton wool

FUNGUS MY FRIEND.......it is probably fungus

In my experience with this Crapola!!!!......and boy do I have a lot...I would nip it in the bud immediatley!!

Thats what I thought, just wanted someone to second it since I've never seen fungus before!!! Because of that, I didn't say that I started treating the tank with Protozin on Sunday, what is good for treating Fungus? Protozin is a "all-round" type that will treat ich, fungus, velvet etc. Is it ok to carry on with that, or use something else?
