Seems like a fungus waiting to "bloom". Do start medicating now.
hi guys, today just noticed this "lump" on my apisto, is this internal parasites?
or does it got to do with what he eats? this guy with his mate has been feeding on my malayan srimps every day... have been trying to remove as much shrimps but still some are left inside.. this pair totally ignore NLS pellets now
thanks in advance.

hm... im quite sure its not substrate that he ate..
anyway, today the lump seems to have gone.. but there is something sticking out of it..
this guy is still very active though.. chasing the female everyday...
I have had a couple (a caca and an aga) having a white bit sticking out from the body. Like a white pimple. No movement from the white bit as far as I could see, i.e. not like a worm or parasite. But in both cases, they died after a couple of days.
omg... does it mean that mine will die in a couple of days? anyone please help!
The only medication that i use for my sick fishes are melafix and primafix, together with ketapang leaves. But they do not always work.

there is one i used for discus called miracle baby. Don't know still available on the market.
that one good for internal parasite. It can be used as a dewormer.
I used MQ4 and MQ5

I can't tell from your photos if it is similar. The ones on my apistos were white (yours look pink), stuck out (looks like something worming its way out but no movement that I could see). I've never had luck treating so nowadays, I would isolate and keep my fingers crossed. Both died. I did not do a post-mortem to confirm, not much point considering I would not know what to do even if I found out what the lump was.
Yours may not go the same way. Hope someone else can provide a solution.
okay.. will try to get melafix and primafix if i have the time..
miracle baby's still in the market and works joopsg i used it to cure internal bacteria from my female Ap. sp "Rio Mamore" thanks to your recommendation
it seems like the white thing sticking out is gone.. but this fella is still not eating.. should i put in medication?
try the MQ 4 and MQ5. hope its help..
one bottle of each can used for quite sometime.

thanks bro, guess this guy is back to normal.. have been very busy this few days and totally forgot about this.. but today went feeding him with NLS pellets and he readily took them all.. and i noticed theres nothing on that area anymore. thanks
