slightly concerned

lbolton · 07-18-2007, 10:42 AM

i have 8 neon tetras and a silver molly. i was feeding them today and noticed one of the neons didn't eat anything. then i noticed there is a funny lump at its chin i guess you would say!its not discoloured or red as though bleeding.the fins look slightly shredded too as though its been in a fight. wanted to get some thoughts

may be a cyst or growth.
just monitor now but if it opens up, gets red or fuzzy- remove fish and treat with melafix.

Have a look at my post from a few weeks ago - "Sick Tetras"

Does it look like those pics?
