I Don't Think This Is Normal..

Um, My fish has a weird looking bump on his nose, I think maybe he tried shoving his nose through the little hole in the divider.. I think?

Here are some pictures:

I'm talking about that hole in the divider near his rear end..

So.. if thats the case, that he tried shoving his nose through the little slot, he's back in his old aquarium.

Wow... 29 people have looked at this thread, but nobody has an answer.. go figure

The bump is it a
swelling as it should go down on its own,
Or does the bump look very hard.

His lips look swollen as well.. the bump doesn't look like it could be a hard mass.. but he does lay on the gravel alot.. I've moved him into his own tank just incase he's sick with something.. I don't want Julian getting infected with whatever Dhani has.. if there is anything, heh

You will need a bacterial med then, not good when they lay on the gravel alot, fingers crossed and good luck

The only thing I have is Mela-fix and I think Ich something or other

Ich would look like grains of salt on the fish.
