Keep good husbandry , do water change and run carbon. It's a virus, you can only let it run it's coarse.

If you'd like me to move the thread let me know.

and i imagine i just keep em happy and well fed right? I imagine after a water change everything should go smoothly since no fish harass him. Can they ever be completely rid of it?

Now that you mention it... Does any fish harass it? I can't tell from the vid. Def qt and up water quality to start. If it is lymph then that's all you can do really.

It has the appearance of Lympho. It is a virus, much like the human common cold virus. It is usually around waiting to attack our fishes. Poor diet, poor water quality, extra stress above and beyond just being captive are usually what brings it on. I can see from the first post that the diet is poor. Fix that. Start reading about what to do about this and what is GOOD nutrition:
