Lump on clownfish

[Cherlolo]

Hi guys, I notice a lump on my clown, anyone knows what it is? Have QT it and fed with medicated food for parasite and treated the water with copper based solution for about a week. Doesn't show any improvements.

Is it a new fish? I think its bacterial infection.if the fish is eating should be able to fight the bacterial. I suppose its a newly bought fish. Try not to stress the fish too much.. Try to feed the fish and some anti bacterial dose should help.. I try it with my fish before.

Something like this will help.

Thanks for the advise. I was suspecting its bacteria too since the parasite way is not working. I have bought some anti-bacteria food, will feed it and montior...thanks again.

No, it's more like a bump.

Wat i do is i put in a pail and drop a few drops of anti bacterial as recomended.

Sorry bro..Don't know how to help u already.. Been searching the net but found nothing identical

U will need qt that fish in a smaller tank and it is not safe to qt in ur main tank. May spread to other fish since it some bacterial infection.
