ocellaris clownfish with a lip lump

Post by kangaview »

hi

got a bit of a concern with my Ocellaris Clownfish, it's got a small lump under its lip, i'm worried about it. been feeding them frozen food, just chucking it in the tank without defrosting, could this be the cause?

What's the color of the lump under your clownfish's lip?

It's probably just a minor injury. I'd start defrosting the food though, that's a good habit to get into.

I've also noticed this morning that my perc has got a tiny lump just below his bottom lip - it's really small. It looks like a white strand, to be honest I thought it had grown a goatee at first. I'm not sure if there's any disease that sounds similar to this, but I'm a bit concerned.

The lump's orange, same as my Ocellaris.

If it's a lump the same color as the fish, just keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
