Title: Question for anyone who owns Goldfish (fantails) Post by Melissa on Jul 14th, 2009 at 3:33pm
I have had mine for about 4 years now and only today did I notice him floating pretty still with his nose down and tail up in the tank. I looked at him closer, and spooked him so he went swimming into our other Goldfish (a monster Lily won at the fair 8 years ago). There was a lump on his back that looks like a raised mole. A pic of it is below. I am wondering if perhaps he is near the end? :-/

everything I've read says "tumor" but unfortunately, no treatment.

Treat it for ich, it is caused by fast temperature swings. Best to separate it in a small tank and treat there. Make sure the temp and PH match the regular tank.
Some times shocking a fish with a bunch of treatments, especially salt ( pure salt, not table salt) will bring a dying fish back, but that is he last resort, it might kill them too. Paul |

Jennifer, I'm thinkin tumor too. :-[
As for the ick, I've never had that problem with my fish but will keep it in mind. I am going to observe him for the next 24hrs to see how he does and go from there. Thanks. |
