I got 3 female DG almost a month ago and one of them had a few zit like spots on her fins. I noticed one spot on the top fin when I brought them home and a second spot appeared on her bottom fin a few days later. They look just like a whitehead zit - perfectly round, raised bump. The spot on the top fin hasn't moved but sometimes changes size, getting a little bigger or smaller. The bottom spot disappeared a few days ago and hasn't returned.
She has stringy poop even though she has been treated with Kanaplex, General Cure and Ich-X. Currently treating her with Microbe-Lift Lice and Anchor Worm and medicated food with metro and prazi. The one spot that disappeared did so a few days after I added the Anchor Worm treatment.
I don't think she has Ich because no additional spots have appeared over the course of a month. I think one of the other gouramis had/has anchor worms (currently being treated in a separate tank) and I heard that they can develop "colonies" that look like this.
I haven't been able to find any information about it but did find a few pictures and a video that look similar, all expect one of which were also on female flame dwarf gouramis. I also chated with a women on Facebook who recently got a female DG that has the same type of spot on her fish's fin.
First 2 pics and the last pic with the blue circle are of my DG - the blue circle shows where the spot was previously and the fin is now discolored. The others are pics I found after extensive internet searches. One is a thick lipped gourami but the rest are female DG.
If anyone has any idea what this could be, I would appreciate your input. Thanks!
