bcflowerlady Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 My female Angel Fish has a tumor on her gill. My research seems to indicate that causes for tumors are hard to diagnose other than thyroid tumors. From the pictures of thyroid tumors I don't think this is what it is. I have watched tumor removals on The Fish Doctors channel. Fish Vets are hard to come by. Anyone have any experience? How long do you think we have? Anything I can do to help her out?

Ben Ellison Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I watched a video from Cory talking about a virus causing tumors. I will try to find it! @Cory might know more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted October 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 13, 2020 You probably have quite a long time with that fish and with removing stress might be able to shrink the tumor a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcflowerlady Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 @Cory @Ben Ellison I keep her in 55g. The only fish she bickers with is her male partner. It is a bit of a busy tank with 5 adult Dwarf Neon Rainbows, 2 juvenile Dennison Barbs, three adult Yoyo loaches, a breeding colony of Hillstreams and 3 Rummy Noses. Once my 14 female bettas in my 30g are quarantined I can move her in with them. That would be quieter. Or I can remove the male to a 35g male guppy tank immediately. Would removing her mate cause more or less stress I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Ellison Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Are they pair or just male and female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcflowerlady Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 @Ben Ellison They prepare the area together and lay eggs but he just guards the eggs for a couple of days then eats them. Maybe that's why she is always hen pecking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Ellison Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 From what I understand even if they dont pair they will mate. So they might not really like each other. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
