Hi guys,

I just noticed this today, there's a white lump on the base of my male Apisto Caca's pectoral fin. Can anyone tell me what this might be and if I should be concerned? The fish is active and behaving normally. There's also a little bit of weird growth on his upper lip that looks like peeling skin, not sure if its related, thanks!

Water param is a bit on the harder side for apistos

7.4 PH, temp 78-82F

from the front it's clearly raised, also the peeling skin looking thing on the upper lip is more obvious here.

comparison from the other side, nothing wrong here.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
