Hi
My orange ryankin has got a swelling behind his gills on the right side of his body, it's been their the last couple of days.
I'm not really sure what it could be i tried netting him out of the tank for a closer look and feel the lump but he wriggled so much that i let him go.
Just wondered if it could be a cyst or tumor as it is underneath the skin. Doesn't seem to bother him too much but he does get dizzy and clumsy at times especially when he swims in front of the filter inlet!!!!
I rescued him from the pet shop because he had a slight deformaity of the mouth & no-one wanted him so i took him in and give him a happy home.
Has learnt to live with his disability bless him.
Any info would be great
