Is this Lymphosis? If it is then how do I treat it? If not, Then what is it and how do i treat him. He has been in my QT tank for about 10 days and has been treated with melafix and pima fix and organi cure and has had a fresh water dip every couple of days and has not gotten better. somebody suggested lymphosis. Is it safe to put him back in the big boy tank ?

That might be lymphocystis. I can't be sure, but I think I also see some missing areas on the fins?

Looks like lympho combined with some fin rot.

Lympho is a viral disease and there isn't any med or quick cure available. Water changes to improve water quality and nutritious food will help the immune system and its common for fish to ward off this disease.

Fin rot is a bacterial problem .. often associated with poor water quality. Like lympho better water and food will help the fish ward off this common problem ... antibiotic treatment in a QT may be necessary for bacterial problems where the fish's immune system won't fix. (maracyn2 is readily available and should work fine)
