Question
Hi Ron.do you remember the bump? it kind of looked like a zit or something but it popped and I'm wondering if i need to get antibiotics for it.it popped today and now he wont eat his food I'm very concerned for my oscar.matt.

Answer
Hi Matt,
 You can try antibiotics if you want.  I generally avoid them with fish but the choice is yours.  

 You definitely should do a 25% partial water change today and possibly again for the next several days.  Good water will help the fish fight off whatever it is as best it can.
