If one has it, the cysts are present and likely on the others (at least assume they are, not that you home home to a surprise one given day) Lymphocystis is a somewhat common infectious virus hosted by freshwater and saltwater fishes which causes cells to enlarge many times their normal size.Add the coral beauty has no spots.

Lymphocystis Infection appears on the infected fish as one or more white or beige colored pebble or wart-like nodules most commonly seen on the fins, skin, or gills, although other tissues may be affected. The Lymphocystis nodules are clustered groups of greatly enlarged, infected cells known as fibroblasts, which are part of the connective tissues in the fish. This may be what the fish is showingI’ve read that lympho may crop up after a stressor. He’s had a couple stressors with recently being moved to your tank and then he puffed up last night. Hang tight for an expert to review. Get high quality foods for him, that’s always a good immune booster.
I do not believe it’s ich, the spots look way too big.

Do you think an oversize UV will help?Lymphocystis Infection appears on the infected fish as one or more white or beige colored pebble or wart-like nodules most commonly seen on the fins, skin, or gills, although other tissues may be affected.

On Lympho- likely not. . . Ich. yes as well as algae and bacterial issues.Do you think an oversize UV will help?
We added garlic tonight. Tried silverside and he nipped it but refused to eat it. He did eat squid tonight and krill.On Lympho- likely not. . . Ich. yes as well as algae and bacterial issues.
I forgot to mention-
In addition to water quality, feed at least the following foods and add selcon vitamins and garlic extract on alternating days:
LRS Herbivore diet
Krill
squid
clam
silverside
Shellfish which allows it to sharpen its' teeth
scallop
What is your current:
ammonia
Nitrate
PH
Salinity
Water temp
GOOD !!!! He's eating and thats good.We added garlic tonight. Tried silverside and he nipped it but refused to eat it. He did eat squid tonight and krill.
Tests from tonight about 7pm-
Ammonia zero
Nitrate zero
pH 8.0
Nitrite zero
Salinity 0.025
Temp at 79.
Yes api tests. I know it’s not the best. Only RODI water use. I have a UV light but only use a few hours a day.GOOD !!!! He's eating and thats good.
You have a lot of zeros on your readings. I assume youre using API test kits ?
I recommend taking a water sample to an LFS that doers not test with API kits and see what readings they come up with. Its important you know the state of your water quality to clear this fish up an become reactive should the parameters be elevatedYes api tests. I know it’s not the best. Only RODI water use. I have a UV light but only use a few hours a day.
He is out now swimming like crazy eating more. He has a very healthy appetite. Wants to eat twice a day. At times eats right from us.
What tests do you recommend? We have KH and Phosprates in Hannah. Use Red Sea for calcium and magnesium. I have no issues in buying more tests. Nearest store is about 45 min besides petco which I don’t care to go too.Yes api tests. I know it’s not the best. Only RODI water use. I have a UV light but only use a few hours a day.
