Cookieskennels Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 i have a male swordtail that has grown a nasty large lump under the eye causing the eye to lift up and go blind. now im thinking of leaving the fish as he is still eating and swimming around, or should i freeze him? ive had him for a few months and no problems and now this, i have added salt to the water to try detox and de stress him but no help. what do i do.

Caper Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Do not freeze from what I've read here freezing is a cruel and slow death for fish Any ideas as to what caused the lump? Injury? Other fish? Is there any change in the size of the lump? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 If he appears happy enough and is acting normally, able to swim and feed, I would leave him alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
