Ruth, that spot on your fish looks a lot like the one on this crabro. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=216328.
This guy seems to be completely happy with himself. Took some more pictures today.http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/momsfishn/miscmultiesguppysGouramibump002.jpg[/img]][url=[url=http://s590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/momsfishn/gouram%20bump/?action=view¤t=miscmultiesguppysGouramibump009.jpg]<img src="http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/momsfishn/gouram%20bump/miscmultiesguppysGouramibump009.jpg" border="0" alt="taken11/4/10">]<a

I don't see much. They do get along most of the time. There are also gouramis, angels and harlequin tetras. All in all a very congenial tank. 30 gal. hex.

If you have a UV filter it wouldn't hurt to run it on the tank. That way if a free floating organism has caused it the UV will zap any of it in the water. Just put it on the outlet side of a canister if you can find an inline one. Or you can even use a powerhead to run an inline one.
I keep an inline UV on hand and put it on any tank that has issues, they are a nice safety net when it comes to weird issues, can't hurt and may help!

I don't have one. Considered it several times, just haven't got it. Knowing how we fish keepers love the gadgets, I probably will have one before long. : I just checked him. Bump is about the same size and he is still unaware of what is happening to him. Perhaps that is good. :sunny:

He was dead this morning. I opened the bump and it was a cyst. Full of cheesy like stuff. Anyway he showed absolutely no signs of discomfort til last night.

it always sucks when you loose a fish
but the good things is that you can replace it with two more

Oh, your such a kick! sidekicking! Probably will too. I did a double water change today. Sometimes thats better than one big one. All the other seem fine. I've lost a couple fish out of that tank lately. It seems to be a little too on the acid side. most of the fish I have in there are acid lovers or neutral, but I think you can over due it sometimes. it was less than 6.5. anyway just thinking outloud. Old people do that a lot.

Maybe this is far fetched, but can fish get abscess? My horse had one and it turned into a bump that burst. again, prob far fetched, but that is as for as my experiences with any bump that busts.

So, how is your gourami?
I lost him about 2 weeks after I first noticed it. He never showed any stress the whole time he showed it. Then he just died. I did lance it after he died and it was apparently a large sebaceous cyst. Sometimes caused by bacteria. He was a beautiful, spunky little guy. Always chasing someone. :cry:
