mjfromga 1,784 Posted November 4, 2017 Photos aren't super clear but it looks like a tumor to me. Fairly common. There's no treatment except removal of it surgically once it gets too big. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjfromga 1,784 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Doesn't look like anything infectious to me. Always quarantine new fish for 30 days before adding to the main tank. A second opinion will be along soon. Hang tight. Oh and can you please grab the fish and feel the protrusions and describe their texture?
