Aquarium Advice Apprentice
would appreciate some opinions...
I have a gorgeous, and I do mean GORGEOUS, Oranda who we call "Stache". We've had him almost two years and he is just a joy to have in his aquarium sitting at the end of our kitchen counter. Yesterday while feeding him, I noticed a black spot on one of his underneath fins...the small ones closest to his head that are constantly moving. It is very small, about the size of a pin head, and looks to be a bit textured. It looks like he fell down and has a piece of black top embedded in his knee lol.
Anyhow, any ideas? Like I said, he is solid orange now...when we got him he was just a little thing and had a very small, black marking right over his mouth, litterally a Hitler-looking moustache thing, hence the name "Stache" (daughter wanted to call him "Hitler" to which I replied maybe for Halloween but how about "Stache" instead lol) As he grew bigger the spot disappeared and he's been solid orange for about a year now...I hope he's not getting a tumor or something?
Thanks...
