Hey everybody, I have wonderful news. One of my long fin white skirt teras has a clear bulb thingy in the middle of its tail. It is totally clear except for a few small white strands that are about .5 - 1 mm thick and probably about 5 mm long. There are two or three of them from what I see. Anyway the bulb itself is about 5 mm across and sitting directly centered near the back of the main lower fin. Any idea what it is? The pH in that tank is about 6.5 so I'm surprised there is a problem in there. I kinda noticed it a few days ago when it was small but I ignored it as it was white on a, you guessed it, white fish. This is really pissing me off. These are the first real cases I have had of any disease in a few years. The only thing I have ever had to deal with was a little ich about a year ago and that has been it for the past few years. Help me! If you didn't detect my heavy sarcasm at the top, you might want to question yourself rather than me about how I'm happy about this. Thanks for reading my little essay. Any help would be greatly appreciated on what this is and how to get rid of it. I threw in some rid ich just to see if it might work a few minutes ago (after a 40% watter change).
