we just noticed these growths on the firemouth, she has matching ones in the same places on the other side of her dorsal fin. they kinda look like pimples, the fish isn't acting any different. sorry i couldn't get a better photo
Temperature- 78
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 30
pH - 7.8
hardness - 300
there hasn't been any new fish added to the tank. i did add two snails from my fry tank in there about a week ago. about two mouth ago the other juv firemouth and a fast growing lump on its side that turned to the size pea rapidly and we put the fish down cause it was suffering. There has been no other problems in this tank since it was set up. any ideas what it is? parasite, infection, tumors?
