Hello all...
I have had my 36" South American lungfish for about 7 years...last week I noticed his face starting to swell on one side, along the lower jaw. Today there is a round lump like an abscess. I have theorized that he has been jabbed in the face by my 7" Wood catfish. Lungs are pretty tough, so he may just heal on his own...I have included pics... Anyways, I am currently pondering the best course of treatment if this continues to worsen.
