Got this little guy two weeks ago. Been in QT since then. I could see white spots when i bought it, together with these bumps. Today I checked and saw the bumps still. Can anyone tell what the bumps are?

Are you treating him in any way ?

Yes with paraguard.

 

[HotRocks]

That is likely ich.

You will want to treat with copper, TTM or hypo. CP is not safe for hippos. Paraguard will not erradicate ich.

A 5 min FW dip to make sure flukes aren't present is also a good idea

Looks like ich to me, skin is just raised where the parasite is

 

[andys]

Yes with paraguard.

Ya if he or she has Ich Or velvet Paraguard isn’t going to cut it. I think I would ether do TTM or use copper power

 

[mich2599]

I do not have copper. I do have furan 2 though.

 

[pdxmonkeyboy]

poor guy. I have never seen ich bumps like that before.

Was this fellow in copper at the place you purchased him from?

We've seen something vaguely similar in fish that have been in copper for a while from time to time . . .

Yes he runs copper in that system.
