tuppence7 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just noticed that he has a big red lump hanging off him sort of at the side of him by his side fin. looks like a shrimp pellet but is red. im so upset, i know hes a common sort of a fish but he was my first fish i ever had in my first tank and he is my favourite so i am very worried i hope someone can tell me how i can help him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 have you examined him closely in a net yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuppence7 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 no ive never netted him before. ive always been too scared because i was told the barbs he flares out when hes upset can get caught and i dont wanna stress him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 i use my hand and/or a small container to catch my BNs. Then I can look at him more closley in the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
