I have a juvenile emperor angel that’s been in qt for a month, gone through ttm, 3 rounds of prazi and has shown no signs of any disease except for lymph.

Since there is no cure for this should this stop me from putting him in my DT? Or should I keep him in qt until I see the lymph clear up?

I feel like the qt is what’s stressing him and making the lymph worse. He’s in a 20 gallon qt. Gets fed 3 times a day with mysis and sea veggies.

I've never hesitated to put a fish w/Lympho in my DT. The nodules are caused by a virus which is very prevalent among marine fish; most fish just never show symptoms.

I bought a copperband butterfly for cheap because it had it. Ttm for ich, a little medication and into the dt he went. It went away after a couple months once he was fed well and got fat and happy

Ditto here. Went away with food feedings.

As long as it’s not in gill area paint spot with Lugol’s solution. Watch for a couple of days and put in tank.
