Please help. I have an African Cichlid with a growth on its face. I think it might be a tumor but I’m not
sure. I do a weekly 50%water change and I over filter. I treated the entire tank with Triple Sulfa which did not help. It started by looking like it had swallen nostrils and now it moves from the sinus area to the side of his face. I’m very attached to this fish and I don’t want to she him suffer. He is eating just fine. Please share your thoughts any advise would be much appreciated.

I would try posting in the disease forum, probably have a better chance of getting a good answer.
