Answer 3

this is a disease called carp pox and is very contagious, is is normally caused by poor or dirty conditions and is a form of herpes believe it or not. in bad cases it can be deadly but sometimes clears up if you clean the filters and add salt at a rate of about 2%.  its a virus and once the fish have it , it can come and go depending on the condition of the fish in much the same way some people get cold sores when they are stressed. make sure your not over stocking your fish and they will need ultra clean conditions from now on, feed a good quality food containing  vitamin c to improve their immune system. these fish will be carriers of this virus for life, consider this when thinking about adding any new fish. but the white lumps should go if you keep them in good conditions. the lumps are normally around the head area and can merge together to make larger lumps, ( they may go greenish if left )
