I purchased a few german rams 2 weeks ago, unfortunately they introduced ich to my tank which i'm currently treating with quick cure. One of them shortly after being introduced started to develop a bump under its scales. Now the bump is getting ugly so i'm wondering what to treat it with. I've been dosing the tank with malachite green/formalin for the ich, and I'm thinking if this could be a bacterial or fungal infection that can be treated topically with methylene blue or some other antibacterial chemical. The bump doesn't seem like cotton fuzz as in a fungal problem, instead its a hard white lump that keeps getting bigger.
Other than the unsightly sore, the fish is doing fine, chasing all the rest of the fish around the tank.
