So it is a lump, and not just a sore?

Lumps... not good... Sores... easy enough to fix...try taking some photos without the flash and use some good lighting in the room/area your in... maybe we can see what this is alittle better

how do i cure sores?

 

[yohan]

whats the difference between a lump and sore?

 

[basslover34]

Raise the temp, add haf dose of salt to the tank,

Sores will be open, lumps have no opening and are growths from within

There was another member anythingfish I believe the one with the 8000 gal tank in washington. Anyway, his rtc x tsn hybrid had the same thing in almost the same spot and he paid a vet to remove it. They knocked it out somehow, ran a continous water supply through the gills and cut it off. Pretty much a benign tumor. Anyway here's a link to the whole ordeal.
