i am not sure what i am looking at. where are the warts located? I am not sure what advice "better safe than sorry" means.. cull it? That's some weird coloring for tilapia, what species or hybrid is it? |

Cotton, Ha ha no. The second part of his original question was "should I isolate it". Thus the better safe than sorry remark. I believe the blemish that he is referring to is between the flipper and eye, on the right side, in the top pic. |

Must have been in the water most of the fish have red markings along their fins. Got new fish tank filters. They are Blue Tilapia. I might try to add some salt to the water i cant isolate them anymore because almost all of them have the problem. |

Salting is probably a good idea. 1 ppt helps with stress. Raising the temp if it's low for their range might help them as well. A brief dip in a salt solution could be a possibility. You might want to crosscheck to see if Tilapia can handle the amounts listed below but I think they can. Most plants can handle the 1ppt concentrations but as you go higher plants that are sensitive, like strawberries will die off. Salting Nitrite issues - 1ppt = 1KG per 1000L or 1gm per L Parasites - 3-6ppt Dip for parasites - 30ppt - .5 to 10 minutes. Remove fish showing signs of distress immediately (laying on side or erratic behavior for example) I'd guess this is fungal but can't be sure. |
