FriendlyLoach Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hey everyone, I am adding some more goldfish to my pond. I wanted to give some abused goldfish a better life. There are three goldfish and a common pleco in a 10 gallon, and I plan to get the goldfish. However one of the goldfish has a tumor like growth on it's head. I was wondering if I should be worried of it spreading to other fish? Are fish tumors contagious, or are there any other things that look like tumors that can spread? Should I be worried about fish TB? I plan to quarantine them, but should I get these fish? It is the whitish goldfish in the corner that has it. Sorry about the picture quality.

FrozenFins Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 No, I wouldn't be worried about tumors spreading to the other fish. Think of it as Human Cancer, its also not contaigous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannachka Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 i would quarantine any fish before adding them to your pond, you don’t know if the tumor was caused by genetics or disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
