My Danio Has A Fuzzy Bump On His Head And I Don't Know What It Is?

my long finned leopard danio has a sort of fuzzy bump/lump on it's head and he is a little bit lethargic. he is still actively moving but sometimes sit on the bottom of the tank and doesn't do much. I will post some pics when I can. Please tell me if you have any suggestion as to what it may be and how to treat it.

 

the white area in front of the eye is the swollen and bulging part

anyone there? please someone help my dying fish. he has a fluffy lump like thing on his head and he is lethargic. his lethargicness has been getting worse.


this photo show the LUMP on my danio.

DoubleDutch, or someone please help me with my problem!





Does he have a worm? for is it a particle that is in the fuzzy stuff.

 

Looks to be a bacterial infection ?
Antibiotics like furan2 may help .

 

I can't see very well from pictures, but fuzziness is often fungal.

 

I have no time to go shopping and I have nothing to get to treat it now that my LFS are closed.

 

I agree with it being a bacterial infection,get him into a quarantine tank and treat with something like furan2 or melafix

 

I woke up this morning and he is dead.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. Poor fishie.

 

I woke up this morning and he is dead.

Sorry to hear.

 

this morning I removed the first casualty, but this afternoon... ...I will let you guess. I will tell you in five to ten minutes.

anyone going to guess or if your aren't tell me because I will wait to tell you after you guess.

 

It happened again? Another is sick?

 

nope even worse.

 

Tank cracked ?
All fish died ?

 

two danios were covered in fungus and one wa dead at the filter in take and the other was a swimming, round, pom-pom. all I could see was that the mouth was breathing on the pom-pom but I couldn't see the rest of the fish at all, except for a little purple hue of the fish's body color. now the pom-pom is dead too.

 

I am thinking with the quick infection of other fish that you are bacterial illness and not fungus.
Is the covering on the fish fuzzy or flat?
Flat is bacterial fuzzy is fungus .

 

it is fuzzy fungus but my other fish don't have anything at all, and not even my two last danios. I know that the fungus had zero signs of being on my fish or to have infected my fish when I left the house this morning.
