My 12" Rosequeen has this massive lump on his/her cheek right behind her mouth. I noticed for about 2 months ago but didnt do anything hoping that it would go away. Day by day it has gotten bigger...Appetite is still the same. Can i just take him out of the water and cut away the lump ...than ks

No. Where are the pics? Sounds like tumor to me but I need the pics to be more certain of what we're dealing with.

I agree with Lupin.

Sounds like a tumorous growth, but that can be guess with out a few pictures.

My camera was dropped a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to get another one...Assume that it is a tumor what can i Do? It's getting bigger and bigger by the week. It's about half the size of a golf ball

no camera on your cell phone? For two months you didnt take any pics? Why did it take you this long to ask about it?
