Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what's wrong with my female sordtail. Her tail looks like its swollen with a lump in it. It's got what looks like tiny blisters on it. The pics arnt very good but I hope they help.
Thank u if anyone can help. Oh the other fish are fine.

It might actually have cancer. I had a calico that had the exact same thing on his tail, and I gently removed it with a sharp scalpel, got it tested, and it was cancerous!! Put the fish to sleep after the results came back, no cure, it will get bigger and painful, thats what the vet said. Good luck, Em
 
No way a fish having cancer I would never have thought that. Thank you very much, at least I no the other fish can't catch it. I'll leave her for now then when she looks stressed ill get her out. Thanks again :)
 
That's exactly what I thought! I was like, "Uh, can a fish even get cancer?!" if it starts messing with swimming ability, gets bigger, different color etc, put more pics up so I can see if it IS cancer.
 
Yeah sure ill do that. I'll keep an eye on it everyday for any change n if there's a change ill post pics. Thanks for ur help :)
