Wat is the bumb right under his lower jaw?? how can i treat it

 

[Druu]

As there is no sore or effluence, I'm inclined to say that it's a tumor. Did it appear suddenly or grow over time?

 

[MHcblues119]

it just showed up

It should be fine I had a pike cichlid that had that. (not the one in my avatar) I think it comes from poor water quality. Make sure your keeping up on your water changes because oscars produce LARGE amounts of waste. I did a water change, raised the temp, and added salt just like ich treatment and it was gone in a week or two. It always had a mark/scar on its lip from after that though. Its like a pimple, nothing major.

My guess, an infected boo-boo....
