	Ryukin with "cyst"
Caviar Hobbyist Posts: 134 Kudos: 187 Votes: 73 Registered: 09-Jan-2004	Parameters: ammonia 0, PH 7.4, nitrite 0, nitrate 10. I have a 29 gallon tank with (2) 2.5 inch ryukins. One of them has gotten slightly bloated over the past day or so. Today I noticed a small bump or pimple on the one side. It is not red or inflamed, but it has started to ooze a white substance that I assume to be pus, and the bump has gotten smaller. She is acting normally and eating well. What can I medicate with and should I medicate the tank or move her to the hospital tank? Any help is appreciated.

The ryukin, in some respects, is an intermediate between the fantail and the veiltail. Sometimes they have a problem with parasites, both subdermal and internal and a parasite med should be dosed. "Parasite Clear", dosed according to directions, is a favorite of mine and may help. All fish may remain in the tank. --garyroland.

All I have on hand is Clout and Hex-a-mit. Will either of those work? If not, I'll go to the lfs in the morning. Last edited by Caviar at 14-Jan-2005 19:26
