Fish Fanatic
Well when I was geting stuff for my betta with HITH, I looked by the bettas saw a pretty littel female betta, had to have her but she has lumps on her head, any ideal what they are, and how to treat?

OohFeeshy said:As long as they don't inhibit breathing, they look OK to live with. Very odd though, you boght her like that? I would of thought most shops would flush fish like that.... Ah well, she has a good home now

Synirr said:I just remembered, I actually saw a male with the same thing at my local Walmart a while back, but he only had one tumor. It looked very thickly coloured as compared to his normal skin, kinda like a huge mole. I agree with OohFeeshy that it seems like a fish like that would get culled, but I guess some slip through the cracks sometimes.

Gradually it's become thicker (kinda like a scab but not crusty) and it's turned blackish. I've had her for 6-7 months now though and it doesn't seem to bother her. I was thinking of euthanizing her at first because I thought my other girls would catch it but my boyfriend said tumors/moles can't spread to other fish )
