Hey there! Looking to see if i can get some help Identifying what my ADF has; diagnoses for physical things on these little guys can be hard to come by.
I've had her and her boyfriend alone together in a 5 gallon tank for about a 1.5 years; woke up to her with a strange pointy bump on her back!
Now, I know when they amplexus she gets 'ridges' on her back from him squeezing her so much, but those are symmetrical, and they go away after a day or so.
This lump is asymmetrical, only on one side of her. It's particularly pointed, and not something she's had before. It doesnt seem to be hard - she'll smush herself between glass and a glass bowl, and it seems to go down.
Her behavior hasn't changed at all, she's still as feisty as ever. She doesn't shy away from me at all, and she's still eating as usual. She's not trying to rub up against anything, nor is she acting like she's in any pain.
Does this look like something to be worried about, like a tumor or abcess, or maybe a broken rib or bone? Maybe she fell asleep next to the intake and it kinda pulled her skin there? maybe the male bit her during amplexus?
