ug.... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that looks like an extreme case of dropsy. At this point, there is nothing you can do. That doesnt mean it's your fault though! I'm sure you've done everything you can.

what do you think is comming out of him
 
Hard telling.... dropsy is an infection... so probably some sort of puss.... ??? :unsure:

edit: how long have you had him?
 
5 months he started to have the lumps 2 month ago

2 months??? wow.... maybe that isnt dropsy. Dropsy usually results in death after about 10 days. I take it as his behavior is very lethargic/unhealthy?
 
his still very hyper and flare is gills and eat alot. i was maybe thinking its a tumor but he seems happy. this sucks...oh and he doesnt have pinecone scales.
 
do you think he is in pain cause he hard for me to see him like this
 
If he's still really active, flaring and eating and such, I don't think he's in pain. It's likely a tumor as an infection would have killed him long ago, as long as he's active and otherwise appears healthy, you don't really have to consider euthanasia. Keep looking for answers elsewhere if no one here can give you any, there may still be something you can do.
 
thank you very much for your info. i tought too that its probably a tumor cause he would of died by now and he still shows signs of hyppernes. i will try to find answers on tumor.
 
Best of luck. If he starts to show signs that he's in pain or not healthy, you might want to consider euthanasia.

Very odd that he is acting normal. ... try cutting back the feeding drastically if you havent already (as in fast him for a couple of days). I'm starting to think that it's some kind of tumor....
