I recently acquired a temensis and he has a bumb on his chin. Ive seen this in fish at the stores but thought it was only on agro fish who rammed the glass all the time. His is a lot smaller. What is this and what do i do to treat?

just a callous. If you can't stand the look of it, you can try clipping it off with nail clippers, but you'd better make sure the fish is held down well so you don't clip his mouth off in the process.

If you keep him in a very spacious tank, he won't run into the glass so much and it will eventually go away on its own.

Oh, but you dont know. His jaw is like that because he hits the glass or decor durring feeding and when stressed out. This means your tank is to small.



This guy is a joke. Hes asking a question like this then in the same post says hes going to build a big tank.
