GOLDFISH SICK

Question
MY GOLD FISH HAS A BIG BLACK BULDGE COMING OFF HIS STOMACH.  WHAT COULD THIS BE AND WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP

Answer
Hi Missy,
It's very difficult to be able to diagnose a fish with only a small description of symptoms. A picture would help too if possible.

Even then, I can only make an educated guess. Bulges on fish can be anything from cysts, internal problems, to tumors. How is the goldfish behaving otherwise? Does he act normal and is eating well?

Otherwise, I would just take the very best care possible of your fish (keep the water very clean and feed a healthy varied diet.. a good place to find info here- www.thegab.org) and keep a close eye on the bulge of course.

I hope this helps!
