Need help: Lumps on aro face

[yogifoo83]

Dear sifus,

Just saw this appearing on my aro's face 3,4 days ago and seems to be increasing in size. At first was just the lump on the lower right check. And now 3 more lumps on the right forehead

I was reading around, is this the gas bubble disease?

I can't post the link though I have uploaded the pic onto photobucket. I havent been active for a long time and lost the password to my old account. So how can I post pictures?

I have also uploaded the picture to my albums

Most probably is due to poor water quality.
Add Jap yellow power.
Change the filter wool and Increase the WC frequency will help.

I see. Thanks Derek

bro, what is your water change regime?

check your water parameters

[harrysoo]

Imho, do more frequent wc, probably every 2 days 20% to 30% wc, add heater , set to 32 degree and add epsom salt. Hoped your aro will recover soon

Thank you sifus.

My water parameters are:
pH: 7.5
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 12.5 to 25 mg/l

2 lumps have burst. Still eating but maybe a bit less.

Yep, its the water. My red also had this condition, wat I did was to increase the wc from 20% to 40%, and its cured

Hi Bro Fishlover1971, you mean change the 20 - 40% of the water for 1 week... for how long... more details please... Or daily? Thanks.

Any medication?

One of my red ever had this problem before. What i did was a massive water change and ohf wool and it's cured without any medication or increasing temperature.
