Fungus on L142?

Post by johho »

This is one of my L142. Can anyone tell me what this is on its fins and geels? Some kind of fungus?

How do I get rid of it?

They are 7-8 cm long and goes together with L200 Baryancistrus, Discus, Geophagus in a 385 liter tank.

Looks more like lymphocystis from the photo.

Google that and see if it looks the same.

I looked at it and it dont looks the same. My fungus is more yellow and it really looks like eggs that are attached to the body.
I have raised the temprature and put in some salt to see if that works.
