Rozy barb with a tumur?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The "tumor" hast grown for the past 3 days and he might got a bit smaller. I think this means its probebly not lymphocyties beacause from what ive read it shuold be getting bigger for a few weeks. However his belly seems puff and he is pooping white stringy poo so im thinking start metro treatment, what do you think?
 
Is he still eating and is he the only fish affected?
I'm very pro meds. But don't use them unless I can I'D the problem.
 
today ive offered him peas and he didnt ate, im thinking trying agai later with grlic guard and pellets. since this started ive seperated him and no other fish showed symptoms
 
Since the fish is isolated, and it's apparently not readily eating, then the problem might be some type of intestinal problem. Not necessarily a bacterial infection. It's up to you, if you have a full spectrum med. Why not try it.
 
Now i see that he has pinconing... looks like dropsy.. i dont know if it started now or i didnt notixed but now its clearly pineconing. any suggestions?
 
Dropsy is a symptom of an intestinal bacterial infection or a very advanced intestinal parasitic problem. Usually not curable.
