rayoddballfish Blue Tier VIP MFK Member May 2, 2017 719 674 390 May 25, 2023 #1 Hey y'all, I noticed today that my 15 inch WC Nigerian lapradei bichir had a weird bump on the right side near its anal fin. Any thoughts on what this is and whether its a cause for concern? Should I treat the tank or keep up water changes and ride it out? Thanks, Ray

I introduced new bichirs recently and noticed this change. I'll def keep an eye on it.
