Hi everybody,

Thanks for the thoughts and insight into my TB scare. All fish are still
doing fine, and even the ramirezi with the long stringy bowel issue is still
alive and kicking after showing no more symptoms. And no more stringy poop.

So, here's a new problem. One of my 3-year old trifisciata (store-bought,
so not sure it's origination -- it looks a little hybridized) males has a
few strange white growths coming out from beneath one of his eyes. These
growths seem to have protruded the eye quite a bit. The other eye looks
perfectly fine. There appears to be at least two such growths, small (much
smaller than the eye itself) and pure white. No stringy stuff, no cloudiness
of the eye. The eye still looks functional. It doesn't look like pop-eye to
me -- however, it's been a long time since I've seen the disease.

This to me looks like some sort of tumor or something, not the signs of a
common disease, however, I thought I'd check with the experts.

Thanks, as always, for your terrific insights!
Kevmo
