Hi
Is this carp pox i'm not sure because of the red dots in the middle of the lumps, they are on a showa that died last week of what looked like a bacterial infection and I was wondering if this might have had something to do with the cause of the infection.

Thanks

John

How long had the lumps been there and did they seem to get worse ?

Hi
The lumps have been there for a few months now but I didn't notice the red dots in them untill after the fish had died, a few of my other fish have them with no red dots looks just like carp pox to me that is why I didn't worry about it.

The lumps look like Carp Pox to me, the lumps in this case may have highlighted some redness to the fins caused by stress, the stressor obviously being whatever the cause of death was.
