Hi fishmanuk

No, your gourami should not be that way.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the cause of it is, or the cure. If no one responds after awhile, I'll move your thread to Bettas and Gouramis to see if you have more luck there.

I haven't answered you as I've never heard of it - perhaps others are not posting for the same reason. If you do find information here or elseware please let us know about it - I'd like to learn about this.

Sorry that I can't be of any help...

 

[Sky042]

is it an air bubble or is it actually a bubble in the flesh?

It could be an infection though I've never heard of it either. Try some MelaFix or another antibacterial/antifungus treatment and see if it helps.

Hi fishmanuk

How is your gourami today? Has the bump gotten any larger or changed color? Is there any sign of illness on any of your other fish even if it has different symptoms?

Any sign of finrot or fungus on this fish or any other in your tank? Are there any scales missing on the bump?

There is a possibility it could be a cancerous growth, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
