I get around
I bought this little guy not seeing the tumors because he was on a bottom tank with bad light at the shop. I have seen these alot in Golden Rams. It seems to be common with them. Does anyone know for sure what these are or how to treat it? Why do they seem to only appear in albino/ golden color fish?:popcorn:

Sorry, I thought I posted on tris, They look more like encysted nematodes than tumors to me, if you can use a scalpel or sharp point xacto knife to excise a shallow one, dab the excision site with iodine or hydrogen peroxid afterwards. If it a fatty or granular mass it is a tumor. I, however think it more likely to be a tightly wound worm.
