Lymphocyctis? Help Please

[snwboarder]

Can anyone verify if this is Lymphocyctis or not? I bought 3 chalk bass on 6/28 and placed them in quarantine, and then noticed a small white bump just above the lateral line of one of the bass on 7/4. I started the quarentine on hypo when i noticed the bump, because I wasn't sure if it was ich or not. The bump has gotten much bigger since i noticed it, but has not spread, and it's irregular shaped and kinda "cottony" looking. Sorry the pics aren't great, best I could get. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its real hard to tell without a detail, clear closeup, but it does seem to be. Is the growth irregular shaped, like cauliflower?

Yea, I know Beth, sorry, my camera sucks, it took me forever just to get those pics. Yea, the spot is irregular like cauliflower. If it was ich, it would have spread a lot by now, correct? I'm hoping to be able to put them in the display tank soon, where the water quality will be a lot better, but wanted to make sure it wasn't ich first.

That is too big to be ich. There are examples of lymph in the Diseased Fish Thread. Take a look to see if any of those pics looks like what your fish has.

Thanks Beth, and I had looked at the pics before, and looks like the same stuff, I just wasn't sure if Lymph only occured on the fins or everywhere, so I think that's gotta be what it is. Thanks again Beth!
