Hi all!

Don't know if you can help me with this one since I can't give much info. One of my neons has a lump...ah...I'll try to describe:

-not on the gill but down a bit down from it

-it looks as though its from the inside coming out (not through him!) and shiny like him!

-he looks a little bent or curved a bit

-I think he's eating ok

-swimming although a little "chobby" sorry can't think of a good word

Can't get a pic as my son has my camera, but I doubt if I could get a good pic anyway.

Sorry couldn't give better explanation :(:( but maybe somebody saw something similar before???

    "chobby"

    I haven't heard that term before Caper! Did you make it up or would other Canadians know what you are talking about?

    Sorry, I can't help with your neon though :( . I hope it's not serious.

    Sorry to hear the news Caper, do you know what your water parameters are? pH, hardness? What's your maintenance routine like? When is the last time you did a water change? If you have a quarantine tank i'd recommend you move the sick fish there while you try some treatments.

    What colour is this abnormality?

    Mustcooktea....I don't think anybody would know what that word means, since I don't think there is such a word.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I've heard of water being "choppy", which I think means rough :lol: :lol: , which is what I meant to spell!

    No idea why I used that word...maybe I'm loosing my mind...oh wait, already lost it so must be some other excuse :o :lol:
