This is bad!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
x2

most everything I've read suggests a SG of ~1.008 (anywhere from 1.005-1.010)
 
I have an update. The "tumor" hasn't gotten noticably better or worse, but I have done many water changes and the SG, nitrates, and pH are now corrected.
Today I spoke to the owner of Southern Illinois Tropical Fish Hatchery, someone I trust, and he thinks it's an ulcer. He also said that the pigment loss (apparently due to stress) was a sign of an ulcer. Hopefully continued water changes will help my goby get over his problem.
 
I have my Violet Goby in an SG of 1.010 he is happy as can be :) Good luck with your guy I don't know what I'd do if I found my VG sick like that :(
