My pumpkinseed sunfish have recently developed growths in their mouths that resemble teeth. All three sunnies have been in my care for a couple years now. The condition started with the largest and spread to the other two. It does not affect their appetite, but it does seem to bother them. If this sounds familiar, please let me know the cause so that I may treat with the appropriate medicine. Thanks!
