[frontman21]

OK this morning I noticed that I had ick ok thats not the end of the world although pretty lame....

But then I noticed that my harliquen tusk that I thought had just been a pig and was getting obeast has a hug abnormal lump by his anus.

What is going on in my tank...

BTW here are my water parameters

Ammonia- 0ppm
nitrite- 0ppm
nitrate- 20ppm
ph- 8.3

I feed krill, squid, half clams and silversides every other day

Might be seeing secondary infections. The ick has suppressed the immune system and other diseses / fungus / parasites are taking advantage.

Edit: Also by the lack of coraline I am guessing the tank is not that mature? This also is a disadvantage to the fish making them more disease prone IMO.

Might be egg bound.

I am kinda thinking that it is his swim bladder he has always had some weirds swimming behavior like swimming upsidedown and at the top of the tank but I thought he was always playing in the jet stream but maybe not...


Any way to cure this
