Hello.
We've had 3 cories for a while in a very healthy, planted, and well-cycled tank.
One started to develop a growth on its gill, and it does not look fungal (i.e. no fuzzy texture). This was about 2 weeks ago. Since then, we have quarantined it and have treated the water with the following at the directed intervals and doses:
Jungle Fungus Clear
API Melafix
Fritz Coppersafe
This fish is usually in a school of 3 cories, and the other 2 appear healthy with normal behavior. The quarantined fish is also behaving totally normally in a 1 gallon quarantine tank at 76°. It has been eating and digesting without issue, too.
Does anyone know if this growth is potentially a tumor and, if so, should we just return the fish to it's usual habitat?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
