NCFAR Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I adopted this fish and two others from an internet ad last weekend. It has a large tumor does anyone have personal experience with it? The person who owned them said the fish has had it for a long time and it hasn’t effected him. He lays on the rocks more often than the other two but eats, swims and appears healthy otherwise.

Colu Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 It looks like a granuloma or a tumor treatment wise you could get a fish vet to remove it if it's a granuloma I read that tetracycline or minocycline have been effective at sinking the lumps minocycline is the active ingredient in maracyn2 you could also add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons with maracyn2 if it a tumor other then having it removed theirs not a lot a could suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFAR Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Colu, thank you for your response. I’ll try your suggestions for sure! I’d be really surprised if there’s a fish vet anywhere near me but is definitely something I’ll be checking into for this fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Don't know where you live but I'm thankfully close to a University with a reknowned Vetrinary hospital- some of them have services- a friend of mine took her goldfish to them once. If there are any of those remotely close to you even if you can't take your fish there maybe they have a referal service to a graduate vet in your area.
