Question
New 20 gallon setup, have 3 mollies and a small pleco.Have had them only a week.Pleco has a bump on the fin sorta looks like a very small tan colored ball.He( I'm guessing the sex) doesn't seem to be sick or anything...yet.The mollies show no bumps or anything

Answer
Hi John,
 Sorry for the delay in responding; I was out of the country.

I wouldn't worry about it (plus there is nothing you can do about it anyway).  Just like people, fish sometimes get little bumps here and there.
