Is this Neon Tetra disease

[Spartyfish]

Tetra has been quarantined now for over 3 weeks and I have been treating with Melafix and King British disease cure. Has been no real change with raised white bump on side and white blob (fungus like?) on tail and initial loss of top of Cordinal fin where white blog is.. Concerned now as the second Neon Tetra in my community tank - will remove him into the quarantine tank as soon as I can (Guppies, Pleco and Shrimp) now showing beginnings of similar sign. All water parameters are good etc - temp at 26 degrees.
Is this Neon Tetra disease or something else? Ideas appreciated.

neon tetra disease (NTD), usually has symptoms of the fish getting a bent spine and losing coloration. the symptoms your fish have look like bacterial or fungal infections. if you have access to jungle fungus clear fizz tabs and/or seachem kanaplex, then use them to go about treating it.
also, melafix is not usually all to helpful i have found. it apparently only treats certain strains of gram positive bacteria.

Many thanks - will do - not found melafix doing anything that I can see.

my guess would be it has neon tetra disease which is bacterial. If you Melafix and king British aren’t working my next guess would be a parasite called Ich. Unfortunately none of the treatments you are using like Melafix and king British will not work against Ich so I suggest using blue planet white spot remedy because when my tank is infested with ich I use it and it usually resolves within a week.

with Ich the parasites lay eggs in the substrate so I suggest vacuuming the substrate and getting rid of those eggs. best wishes.

It does not look like NTD. But to be honest the pictures only tell me what it is not. Neither NTD nor Ichthyophthirius.

NTD is rare and untreatable. If it was that the situation would show itself very differently.

Please fill out the emergency template and take better pictures.

I assume you want to say it's spreading? Then a. NTD is for sure out and Ich as well as it only affects fish, not shrimp. And b. forget about a hospital tank, it spread already.

Please read up on the life cycle of Ichthyophthirius. They don't lay eggs. Spreading wrong info on diseases only causes more harm.

Sorry i read over it and I wrote it wrong. What I meant to say was they go to the bottom of the tank and turn into a tomont (which is basically a egg) reproducing itself.
