On the head between the eyes*** (not side lol)

All the holes or spots that I see on one side of the fish are parallel to the either spots/holes to the other side. I think those are the sensors that this fish has.

I don’t see anything on the head. The Orange Potted Sunfish (Lepomis Humilis) does have a lot of sensors on his head to find food in muddy water, or at least that’s what I’ve read online. Is that what you think you are seeing?

Will do. Thanks!

When I look at it, it doesn’t really look like a growth. He’s had it for two or three days now and it has not increased in size.

I just did some reading and fish tuberculosis seems like an intense illness. I really hope this is not what it is. I have no idea how this happened.

I do but no place to set up till I move back to my college dorm in January. I have no place in my house

Oh yes. The tank was cycled before I caught him.

The only thing I know is that the water temperature which is at 77 degrees. I do a 20% water change every week.

He’s territorial but he never harms them either. His eyes also seem to be bulging out just a little bit. It’s NOT bad, but after having home for this amount of time, it’s noticeable. Not sure if it’s normal as he grows.

He seems to have some flesh near his tail exposed and Idk what caused it. He does have two, black mollies, female sword Mollie, and four Madagascar rainbow fish as his tank mates. He’s bigger than all of them and they never bother him.

And for some reason I can’t post pics either. It’s like my keyboard is blocking the option. Because once I reply, then I seen the “attachment” icon

It’s an Orange Spotted Sunfish from a lake in Oklahoma. I’ve had him since October and signs of illness are barely coming up.

Hey guys. I’ve been into fish keeping for a few years now. And now I have a tropical tank with one native fish and they seem to get along quite well. Unfortunately the native one is sick and I for some reason can’t post on the sick fish forum
