SAME TRIGGER BUMPS

[pattie]

HI BETH, THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN BUT YES THESE BUMPS THAT MY TRIGGER HAS DEVELOPED ARE NEAR THE TAIL AND INSIDE HIS BODY OR TISSUE LIKE YOU CALLED IT...ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS?? I HAD A GUY KNOWN TO CLEN AQUARIUMS AND HE SAID HE'S NEVER SEEN THESE BUMPS BEFORE...LIKE I SAID THEY ARE VERY NOTICIABLE ON THE TRIGGER, ONE BIG ON ONE SIDE OF HIS TAIL THE OTHER SMALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TAIL AND (NOT ON THE OUTSIDE )WHERE I READ YOU COULD CLIP THEM WITH A NAIL CLIPPER, CAN YOU BELIEVE I READ THIS, I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING THIS TO A FISH!! ANYWAY, WRITE TO ME AND THANKS FOR ANSWERING ME!!! PATTIE

MY TRIGGER DEVELOPED THESE BUMPS INSIDE HIS BODDY BY THE TAIL END BETWEEN HIS TAIL AND CAUDAL FIN, THEY ARE REALLY NOTICEABLE INSIDE, ONE LOOKS LIKE A TUMOR AND IT'S GETTING BIGGER...PEOPLE TELL ME THAT IT MAY BE WORMS OR SOME KIND OF VIRUS!!! THEY ALL GET VIRUSES...ANYWAY, IF I COULD TAKE THE FISH OUT, I CAN BRING IT TO MY PETSTORE AND THE MANAGER THERE SAID HE'D TAKE A LOOK...TRY TO CALL SALTWATER AQUARIUM PLACES WHERE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR FISH LOOKED AT...THEY MIGHT KNOW...I LIKE MY PICASSO TRIGGER LOTS AND DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN HIS BEHAVIOUR EXCEPT THE ONE BUMP IS GETTING BIGGER EACH DAY, IT GROWS QUITE RAPIDLY, IF I KNOW ANY FURTHER NEWS I'LL WRITE TO YOU, GOOD LUCK, PATTIE
