Today when I was feeding my fish, I accidentally notice that there is a small lump growing on my gooch.Does anyone know how to cure this? It is not hard but soft with a jelly texture...

You can try lancing it with a razor. Wild caught fishes sometime have parasites that live under the skin. I dug out a 3" round worm from my tire track eel a while back. It was pretty nasty. You will have to wrap the fish in a dry hand towel so it won't move around. Sometime it can be an abscess. Either way it needs to come out. Good Luck.

Okok thanks for the advice, I actually found and manage to pull out an anchor worm at the top of the lump, and the lump is getting smaller now.......:D
