Title: White lump on a catfish...HELP!
Post by: davo0903 on December 02, 2006, 08:44:20 PM
Hey guys. I have a pleco that has formed a large white lump on one side of his head. I'm thinking this could be an ulcer, but I'm only guessing. Anybody have any ideas whether that would be correct, and then if it is, whether there is a treatment that I could use on him? I've put him in a quarantine tank, just in case it was something contagious. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Davo
