Black Moor Fish Lump on Head

Question
Urgent!Weight of lump on fish head is weighing him down. Salt bath was performed for one week. Lump getting bigger.

Answer
Hi Kimberly,

Okay, let's put him in saltwater and not as a bath.  Literally, add 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon to his tank.  

I'd like to see an image of his lump.

I'd also recommend doing water changes before adding salt.  Change 40% of the water.  Black Moores are goldfish, so the water is probably ultra dirty, which could be a reason his head is down also.  It's possible water conditions are causing this.

Can you tell me more about your system and send images?

Thanks,
Renee
