I have had Tweek for a while, after a few months I found a small white spot on him that turned out to be a slow growing tumor, and it is positively a tumor. Tweek has his own nice little tank and I had planned on letting him live out his life...because before at the rate the tumor was growing he would be long dead before it would have harmed him.
A few months after that, yeasterday actualy I have realized that the tumor is starting to grow larger at a faster rate then before, for only a little bit yesterday he was not swimming right and was acting very unhappy. I showed him a female out of curiosity and he was not interested at all, my heart sank. Tweek was quite the lady's man in the past.
He is now very happily swimming around his tank upstairs, acting like normal, but his tumor is now the size of two pencil erasers and growing fast. How do I know if he is in pain though, do I wait till he stops swimming and is in misery before I end the pain? Its not like he is a large horse or something where I can easily tell by tiny nuances that the end is near.
What should I do.
