snowdan13 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 My acara has some tumor like bulge along his back. Appeared seemingly overnight. 7.4 ph, no ammonia or nitrites, nitrates are a little high at 40, gh 8, kh at 4. I'm doing a water change tomorrow. Any idea what this is? treatable? I should add, it appears on both sides of the fin and he's pretty lethargic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That is a tumour. Try treating it with Maracyn and/or Expel-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Could be a cancerous growth or a viral infection such as lymphocytis can cause growth's like this or it could be a fluid filled growth what I would do is a course of maracyn2 in food the active ingredient minocycline has proven effective at shrinking some types of lumps and add aquarium salt 1 table for 3 gallons that will help reduce any possible fluid buildup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
