I bought a juvenille Vlaming's Unicorn about 2 weeks ago. I was extremely healthy when i bought it, but a few days later it had a lumpy growth on its dorsal fin and another on one of its pectoral fins. They are growing slowly and are singular roundish blobs, one on each fin. I will try to post a pic soon but anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like Lymphocystis. Viral infection that goes away on its own with good nutrition. Post a pic if you can.

I'm 99% sure it's Lymphocystis.

the ball on the pectoral fin has fallen off, and the one on the dorsal looks smaller. Thanks for the info.
