Tombeaux Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks in advance for your help. I have an ember tetra who came with this black lump on the tail. I bought in a group of 18 so I didn't notice right away. The lump looks like a blood clot, but I have no clue. The fish is in my quarantine tank (parameters below) and so far Erythromycn, Paracleanse, or Ich-X have no effect on the lump. The fish behaves normally and eats, swims fine. So is it a fungus, or a tumor, or just a wonky fish?? pH - 6.8 Nitrates <10ppm Hardness - soft Nitrite - 0ppm Ammonia - 0ppm KH/Buffer - about 40ppm Water Temperature - 78f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
