Jaspyjasp Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hi Community! Just wondering what this white growth could be? It’s not fluffy or spreading into other spots like ich, its just on ONE spot on the fin and feels “weighty”. It flops around with the tail. Is this cauliflower virus? Is it treatable? Any insight is appreciated! thank you!! Jaspyjasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If it’s fuzzy, then that’s fungus for sure. Otherwise, could be external bacteria infection on fin. @Colu is a good assessor and prescriber or various remedies. If you have a Quarantine tank set up, you could move the affected fish in there. Slow down on feeding, and keep water changes up. Aquarium Salt can help with external bacteria sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 As it doesn't have a fuzzy appearance it's more than likely not a fungal infection it could be a benign growth or a fluid filled cyst what I would do is quarantine and treat with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons I wouldn't go above that level as Cory's are sensitive to salt for 1 week @Jaspyjasp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got paranoid bc i saw another cory with similar “white” speck, so doing kanaplex as precaution. All my extra “tanks” are used up right now so im going go observe and see for now :(( But have salt on hand for that next step in case the kanaplex does nothing. The cory is completely fine otherwise, doing usual cory things and eating well. 🤞🤞🤞 That white growth just looks isolated to that one area on the fin. Thank you for your advice!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Edited April 19 by Jaspyjasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspyjasp Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Hi @Colu Just to give an update - I think the Kanaplex has helped to shrink the white growth on the cory fin. It’s still a bit there, prob reduced by half, but much better! should I continue another round of Kanaplex? Do a salt dip? Or stop and observe for now? Thank you for any insight! 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
