Okay, my first sickness...or whatever it is. One of my bloodfin tetras has this weird lump on his side. It looks like a tumor. Do fish get tumors? Or a big giant fish wart. It's underneath his skin, not on the outside. It's not discolored or anything. What is it? Should I quarantine him? I'd take a pic but he's too fast for my crappy camera, he would just come out as a blur.

Why does nobody answer? This is really freaking me out!

Have a look on this site, and see if anything looks similar: click here --> Pandora's Aquarium

Ugh can I just say those pics really really grossed me out. I'm so glad I wasn't eating breakfast.

Thanks for the website, Lotus. I was right, it's a tumor. I'm shocked, I was just guessing. Poor little guy. The website says nothing can be done.

sometimes people dont answer because we dont know what to say. and we dont want to give bad advice.

I understand now, Fuzz. Thanks for clearing that up. I was just frantic at the time and none of my fish books said anything. Oh well.
