I recently acquired a temensis and he has a bumb on his chin. Ive seen this in fish at the stores but thought it was only on agro fish who rammed the glass all the time. His is a lot smaller. What is this and what do i do to treat?
 
just a callous. If you can't stand the look of it, you can try clipping it off with nail clippers, but you'd better make sure the fish is held down well so you don't clip his mouth off in the process.

If you keep him in a very spacious tank, he won't run into the glass so much and it will eventually go away on its own.
 
How large is your tank?
 
150 gallon..... if your just gonna say its cause the tank is too small i dont care to hear the replies.. He is not big maybe 7 inches.. and ill be upgrading to a 2000000000 gallon tank so he will be fine
 
2000000000 gallon is way to small

tell him peacockbass
 
prolly 1 foot by 1 foot by 600 feet. I keep telling these dumb ass newbs that height is worthless.

Oh, but you dont know. His jaw is like that because he hits the glass or decor durring feeding and when stressed out. This means your tank is to small.



This guy is a joke. Hes asking a question like this then in the same post says hes going to build a big tank.
