There is no treatment for lymph. I'd like to see a picture of these nodules. They could be something me, humblefish and tahoe have been looking into recently. If it's what I'm thinking, you'll need a different treatment to cure him.
No cure. High quality foods and water. Low levels of stress and the nodules tend to go away. Best to assume all fish he comes into contact with carry the virus. It generally stays dormant. When active it is 99% cosmeticI believe I have a clown with lymphocystis in a 20g qt with a Mandy, puffer , wrasse & goby, they are day 3 in ridik treatment the clown has developed these ever increasing in size wary like nodules on its belly, and port side gill, after this they will be treated with prazipro, but I'm not able to find out if ther is a treatment, I have to assume all the fish are infected
Lymphocystis is spread by fish-to-fish contact or contact with infected tissues. External trauma from spawning, aggression, parasites, or handling can facilitate infection and spread. In addition, crowding, shipping, and other stressors appear to trigger disease outbreaks. Lymphocystis does not appear to be spread by vertical transmission (i.e., from parents to offspring via infection of eggs or sperm).
Fish may also be infected with lymphocystis without having obvious lesions that are visible with the naked eye. These fish may have smaller infected cells or may have one or more internal organs infected (e.g., inside the eye, spleen, or other organs). Lymphocystis, in these cases, may only be seen after microscopic examination of a wet mount (fresh) biopsy of suspected infected tissues, or by using more advanced techniques such as histopathology, electron microscopy, or molecular methods.
it is going into the isolation suite, it had a fw dip 2 days ago would it be prudent to do another fw or a parguard dip prior to the isolation?
