Albino bichor

So here's the thing, I've had this little guy for about almost 2 months now but out of no where he got this big lump on his neck and I'm scared, I just wanted to get people's thoughts on it and what to do, also he has a white string coming from his gills and I think it's just skin but I doubt it

Wow that's weird. I had a sen that had a tumor but it didn't look like that or pop up over night. I'd try something like prazi to fight a parasite. But maybe others will chime in.

Welcome aboard

What is that in with the Albino Bichir? Is that wood?

Some trumpet snails, pond snails, ghost shrimp and that's it, it use to be in my 30 gallon with all my bigger fish till I found the lump

I personally never seen anything like that before. It looks like it swallowed something too large but I'm not sure.

I thought so to, I had him with gravel but I pressed a bit on it and it's squishy, he was in a tank with guppies, I changed tanks with him a few times to get him comfortable, but nothing worked and it doesn't seem to be getting any worse so I don't know

Seen it before on cb polys. Turns out to be a defect. I’d leave alone as it’s acting and eating normal.

If it has no problem getting to the surface and breathing just wait it out. Keep us updated.

Thank you so much, you really helped me out with the worrying!
