lumpy mouth

[newfishies]

bubbles, my crown tail female betta has the weirdest growth on her mouth. i have isolated and am doing daily 100% water changes (due to the small size of the bowl she is in)

i have tried: salt, salt baths, jungle fungus clear, colloidal silver, melafix - all with no apparent improvement!!!!

she seems normal, happy, eating, doing the "feed me" dance whenever she sees me...

i am now going to try a stronger med - tetracycline. BUT as i was disolving a piece of the tablet in a gallon of water, it does not seem to be completely dissolving? any thoughts on this?

the directions from mardel also state that the tetracycline will turn the water red, but mine is more green? i don't get it? did i get the wrong tablets in the package? any ideas?

i haven't put her in this water yet...i'm waiting for some input...so please, help me!!

could be a tumour and most fish live happily with them.
another is something called cauliflower disease, and as the name suggests growths resembling cauliflowers are seen.

Did you crush the tablet up into a mine power, mix really well in the water, then i run it rhrough i net to take any particles that haven't dissolved, here is a link for you.

I cut the tablet up, then put fold a piece of paper over and put the tablet piece between the 2 pieces - then I can use the fold as sort of a little trough for pouring the powder into the cup - smash the tarnation out of it until it's a fine powder, then dump it into a small plastic cup (I use solo cups so I can throw them out when I'm done - then put a couple tablespoons of water in, swish it around and dump it in. It works pretty well.
