JohnR Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 My Red Spotted Pleco has a small growth near its mouth that looks like a wart which is yellow and another very small one under its tail which is grey. Someone has said it could be "Lymphocystis". Can anyone advise on what I should do? thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 lymphocystis is incurable and it has to be cut out according to my information,it is transmitted through burst cells and it causes the skin cells to grow abnormally large.(easily seen with the naked eye.)
