I have a small fancy that I saw today has a lump on the right side only behind the gills and in that area the scales are raised a tad, NO WHERE ELSE on the body. She eats swims everything 100% normal. Few months ago I had a small red cap oranda that had that, which spread elsewhere and ultimately killed it. Waters clean as it should be so its not the problem. I put some kanaplex in, dont have anything else stronger, so what am I looking at? I dont need another death if I have the wrong kind of medication or going at it the wrong way. Size wise she is maybe 4" with tail, bought her when she was 3/4" long, some kind of low grade ryukin.
FIrst pic is of her LEFT NORMAL side.
