I have a large 200 litre tank. Oldest goldfish (approx 5 yrs old) is a fancy type. Lovely tail and nearly 8/9 inches long. He has a lump on his top fin, about the size of a large raison. Same colour, if a little paler than his normal orange?
It doesn't seem to bother him but I'm a bit worried bout him?
He shares a tank with two bog standard hook a duck wins that have turned a lovely silver colour and a fancy white goldfish with the red cap(name escapes me but he's a happy chap)
We have a good filtration system and the tank is well maintained.
Is it just old age and normal lumps and bumps? All fish eating well and healthy.
Just thinking, lumpy fish is nearer 7 yrs old.
