QuestionHe shares the tank with a Calico Fantail, a Plectostomus and a smaller Black Moor. I had another Black Moor who had the same red swelling and it grew larger and he eventually died. I love my fish and I don't want him to die, but I don't know what to do! I'd appreciate any and all help I can get! Thanks!
Here's two pictures I took of him:

It is a 25 gallon tank and the temperature of the water is 70 degrees. The Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia levels are at 0 ppm and there are no traces of chlorine.
AnswerHi Raul,
Is there any chance that this fish has been fighting with the other goldfish? Fighting is the most common cause of mouth and lip injuries.
