    It looks like Lymphocystis which is one of the most common viral infections of aquarium fish. The disease usually runs its course in 4 or more weeks (depending on species involved, water temperature, and other variables) and then the enlarged cells rupture or slough off. After lymphocystis lesions are lost, the tissue usually heals up.

    ich will usally hit the fins and gill area first After that it will move up to the head or body. And you do not want that.
