I got home and she was floating head up...definately dead
rough week
but hes got a small pale lump just under the skin.
Could it be a tumor??
If not, what is it????

dropsy/intestinal blockage is what my vote gets

its not like the stomach was inflated, the lump was on the caudal peduncle
im actually examining the fish right now...her white stomach has "stretch marks" and the head is slightly pointed up. is it possibly blunt force trauma?

Blunt force trauma from what??? Rouge car? Dude with a hammer? Very rare to have a tank kept fish die from "blunt force trauma." Internal infection get my vote.
