MY 7 inch ID shark has a growth on its skin, the growht doesn't look any different than its skin, almost like a wort on a person, but I have never heard of anything like this, any ideas and is it harmful? treatments?
 
it doesn't look any different than his skin.... are you saying that it looks like damage to his scales?
 
sorry, off topic but Cumberland rules! ,,,, i'm sure you understand. I'm not sure about your shark..... someone on here will help though
 
my ID shark before also had these tumor like thing on the tip of its mouth, from constant observation i found out that it is caused by the constant bumping on the glass when it gets startled by sudden movements outside the tank.
 
iv seen this alot id sharks i aslo think its from bumping into glass from being in a small tank! iv seen one at a petstore that had a big pimple thing on his mouth and i watched it pop and its sick!
 
I would buy that its from bumping things but its on his side, half way between his gills and tail in the middle of his body, an area that doesn't get bumped, very weird
