Helper Arctic Mama Posted March 20, 2021 Helper Share Posted March 20, 2021 Tumor, but not a huge deal. That sort of overgrowth is usually not a problem if the fish can still swim and eat. But we can investigate cutting it off down the road if it becomes a problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FishyOnMe Posted March 20, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thank you for the reply. If I do choose to remove the tumor it woudl most likey lt re grow back? It is safe to assume it can be removed in the same fashion as if I needed to remove overgrown Wen arund the eys of a goldfish or it is going to result in a different outcome? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be treated the same way as a trimming. It may bleed so keep an eye out, if you do do it. 😊 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
