Whoa!!! What is that? Looks like velvet to me, but not a clear shot. I would be drowning his food in C and garlic....I know someone will pop in here and tell us what that is.

the makings on the head and upper body is a reflection Im looking at the the tail area.. it looks like bumps almost, I always do garlic, I put 3 drops in a day and then I also soak the food in it every other day along with zoe supplement.. I'l start to add Vit C into the tank.

Can you get a closer pic of that?
I'm guessing its probably some kind of cancer,but thats just a wild guess.

I`m pretty sure that`s what it is too. It`s the beginning stages of it. Read these links and feed plenty of greens so he can get plenty of vitamin C.
