OK....he has a large flap of skin on his face(on his right side) where the nose(?) flaps are....this picture is not the best sorry.....it has been there since we got him,it is bigger,of course so is he,also the skin in that area is bumpy like.......a wen?? he was sold as a fantail.It has no white edge and he seems healthy....any thoughts?Anything to worry about?

I can't help I am afraid, but I wanted to comment because the description strikes me as identical to what is happening to mine at the moment, so I will be interested to see what advice you receive.

Here's the thread on mine - does the flap / tumour thing look the same or similar to yours?

Hi No,sorry it does not look like that at all.It is just a flap or flake of skin...as if it is peeled back,but looks clean and fish seems fine.....good luck with your fish.

Thanks, good luck with yours, too.

Anyone?

Hi Merlinsmom, how is your fish today? I hope someone can offer you some advice soon!

Thanks Alik:) He is fine.....Maybe it is nothing to worry about.It looks like a peeled piece of skin where his nose flap(?) should be....the other side is normal.No infection,so maybe he just has one BIG flap on that side...lol
I hope someone can reassure me.
