Spongy outgrowth in gold fish
2/22/12
Hi,
<Pradeep>
I have attached a picture of my gold fish and there is a spongy
outgrowth in the gold fish. It doesn't appear as if the gold
fish is troubled by it but the infection keeps growing and now it
has now transmitter to another gold fish in the tank which shows
a small growth of the same kind of outgrowth. What kind of
infection is it and what kind of treatment can be given to cure
this?
<Is a viral tumour, and not really anything I would do to
treat. Cutting away may lead to the goldfish bleeding out. IF you
do this, cover over the wound with "super glue" to
seal.>
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
If i don't cut off the viral tumor will the tumor kill the
fish? or can the viral tumor be left as such. Please advise.
<Not likely kill, but may shorten lifespan... read.

Re: Spongy outgrowth in gold fish

I read through the FAQ's and mostly you have suggested to
leave/ignore such tumors as such *(Unless the fish appears to be
ill, **if its not eating well)* .Thank you very much for
helping.

<Welcome. I have had fishes with these growths live
"happily" for years...
Cheers, BobF>

advice on gold fish
2/21/12
Hi WWM advisors
<Andrew>
We have a pond of 12 gold fish for the last 7 years.
One has a number of growth. This is on the forehead and 5
more on the side of body.
<I see these (viral) growths>
These has been steadily getting bigger over a the last 3
years. It does not seem to affect its appetite, and it is
as active as the others. The grow is constant,
does not seem to speed up over warmer
period. The rest of the fish seems to be
unaffected. We feed them commercial floating fish
pallets, once a day in summer, and once every 4 days in
winter.
The pond is outdoors, has natural vegetations, and has a spray
fountain that operates 4 hrs/day. The pool is facing east,
located at the side of the house. It has 4 hrs of direct
sun a day before noon.
We live in a temperate climate (Melbourne Australia).
What do you think this is, and Is this treatable.
<Mmm, not treatable (currently). Please read here:

I understand the Crew are volunteers, and I appreciate your time
and advice.
Regards
Andrew & the family who loved their gold fish
<Cheers, Bob Fenner>
