Hi Dr. Loh. I have a lovely veiltail Betta boy called Rocky Balbetta with 2 huge tumours on him. They don’t seem to be causing him pain as his behaviour hasn’t changed one bit. He swims and comes to the front of the tank for a “chat” with me, he eats normally and I see no signs of suffering. I hope I’m right. What should I look for to know when it’s time for clove oil if he doesn’t pass away himself? I love Rocky so much but don’t want him to suffer. They seemed to appear in a week. One seems to have shrunk a little but it’s been about 3 months and he still seems fine. I’m in the UK so I can’t take advantage of your service but that really was amazing. I’m so glad to know you are out there saving our precious bettas and other fish

While I am glad to have found this, I am also a bit sad. My Betta has the same condition by the looks of it externally. His name in Finnegan. Wonderful pet. He does not appear to be suffering in any way which is so far so good. The tumor appears to be slowly getting larger though. It is however likely a good specimen for the tumor removal as it is located on the dorsal fin. Will have to see if any vet in the Minneapolis area can do this.
MaraNarX16
MaraNarX16 - 6 years ago
My betta fish currently has a tumour in the same area. I noticed it months ago and it became exposed two days ago. Today, I woke to the area pulling apart (almost cyst-like). I was reading online and it said I could not medicate him, but I was debating using an antibiotic just to ensure the area regenerates and avoids infection. I will be cleaning the water frequently, as well. Does anyone have additional advice or know if I am doing the correct things. I love my betta and really don't want him to pass away. I also do not feel ualified to cut away the tumour.

hi Dr. Loh, was this procedure purely cosmetic or did the tumor turn out to be cancerous?
The Fish Doctor
The Fish Doctor - 6 years ago
lula most neoplasms (cancers) in fish are localised, benign to locally invasive. Here we deal with an external neoplasm (an iridophoroma). One issue is that the neoplasm can grow to such a size that makes them weigh fish down, interfering with their buoyancy. Consequently, for fish to maintain their position in the water, they will have to use excess energy (which was this case). Of great concern in goldfish is that tumours can throw fish off balance, and lead to swimbladder disorders. Another factor for choosing to remove neoplasms is because they can grow but start to rot internally, causing fish to become ill. Some may be prone to traumatic injuries, causing pain and portals of entry for bacterial infection. For internal neoplasms, they occupy space and compress other organs causing them to fail.

I have a 10 gallon community tank with a 4 yr old male veiltail betta and he is my favorite fish. Very active and peaceful. A couple days ago I noticed a lump on his right side. It is under the skin and the scales over it look normal. He is still swimming and acting normal and hungry. I am worried it is a tumor. I consulted every fish and pet store to see if anyone knew what it was and what I could do, and the only advice I got was to use Melafix. I wish I had a fish doctor like this one where I live.

I wish I had known more about surgeries on fish when I was younger. My first beta got a tumor on his back and one next to his anal fin. I had him for a good 5years before they showed up but I wish I could have helped him more. When they first showed up he was still very active and happy but soon they hindered him and eventually killed him. :(

I don’t care HOW valuable your fish is. If your fish is so sick or has such a big problem that it needs surgery- then just freaking euthanize the thing. It’s not hard to do it humanely. This is just too traumatic for such a small animal. And don’t get me wrong. I love fish and have quite a few.

mandyjane
mandyjane - 7 years ago
Christine Edwards Top Fin heaters are GREAT! I am 99% positive that my other heater I was using in his old tank (10 gallon) was a Top Fin, and it NEVER, EVERR gave me a problem... it kept the water at a steady 78 degrees at ALL times. it even has the light that goes on and off. when i clean out my 10 gallon aquarium, I plan on using that one again!
Christine Edwards
Christine Edwards - 7 years ago
mandyjane holy crap!!! Mine I think is from top fin. I grew up with having a 25 gallon tank in my room with a heater from top fin and I never had a problem. But that's so sad! We all learn, but how we learn is sad sometimes
mandyjane
mandyjane - 7 years ago
Christine Edwards yea, funny cause that's where I got mine, and mine had fin rot that had become bad. I killed my own fish by thying to help him and buying a bad heater. (fin rot can be treated with warmer water and medication) Before I went to bed, I put him in a separate tank, put some meds in along with the new heater I bought, and when i woke up, the water was over 200°F and he was dead. I will never buy heaters from the company Deep Blue Professionals ever again!
Christine Edwards
Christine Edwards - 7 years ago
mandyjane yep, I've fixed everything during his time being alive. He looked to be doing better and was able to swim. Not sure, I also got him at petsmart. Never doing that again knowing ofbthe local fish stores in my area. But thank you, I definitely know how sensitive they are!

Elf Spencer Turns out he doesn't have velvet. He's still alive, just doesn't swim much
Elf Spencer

Adding salt will help, as will reducing three amount of light your tank gets. Go to your local fish store and get some anti-pa parasitic medication/treatment.

If you have an adjustable heater, turn the temp up by ~2 degrees Fahrenheit every day til you reach ~84F
This will speed up the life cycle of the parasite and allow you to siphon out the free swimming stage of the parasite with daily water changes.

Wet Web Media is a great online resource, and the Manual of Fish Health is a book every fishkeeper should own. Hope this helps~

mandyjane
mandyjane - 7 years ago
Christine Edwards the problem is definitely the distilled water. NEVER use distilled water, because it contains no minerals and other things that they REALLY need to be healthy. You need to use tap water, but not by itself. you have to buy a water conditioner and put it in the water. NEVER use tap water alone. it inly costs about 3 dollars. Tetra makes a water conditioner called "Betta Safe Water Conditioner". That's what I use, but there are many other brands that make it. Good luck.

I know that they are an ornamental fish but when you have to work so hard a better method needs to be found. I love my fish and want him happy. Would trimming some of the finagle help? He's not a competition fish, just a family pet who is well loved.

I just want to make sure he's okay. His gills are also moving a bit more than usual. I also noticed that his eyes are darker than usual. They're usually a very light blue or cyan color, but right now they look pretty much black. how can cure?

Excellent info once again. Great info regarding the iridophores. Why do you think that some fish have them? Like you mention, some fishes have a metallic/shiny/iridescent scales look (which we call diamonds), but usually in nature these things are for camouflage etc. But I've seen variants of the same species of fish that some have the iridescent scales, and other variants don't, yet both can be found in the same waters... just curious why that may be.

It's clearly a male. Females don't have such vibrant colours or long fins. Maybe don't breed bettas if you can't even do a quick google search, which is all you would need to find out the sexual differences in male and female bettas.

I removed a tumour from a Silver Dollar fish when I was 12 yrs old. That was 1961. I took it from the water by net and placed it on a wet cloth. With a razor blade I cut the tumour off. Then swabbed the wound with mercurochrome , not letting it go through his gills. I then placed him in a bucket of water to rinse a minute. He looked good with no bleeding so I put him back in his tank. I only had two tanks or I would have made a hospital tank. The fish lived for years after that. The fish was about 4 inches diameter and strong. The tumour was about marble size and a bit flatter. It was encapsulated and did not burst when separated from his side. This is true and I was proud of myself for saving it. lol I went on to become a nurse.

Chin Nation does have a point, people who own fish replace their fish once it's dead. It's kinda difficult to do that with any other animal.

Chin isn't implying that he'd kill his fish to buy another one, it's just that most people replace fish easily.

You wouldn't be surprised if a 12 yr old Johnny's goldfish in his small bowl died and he wouldn't replace it.

Chins not even implying that the fishes life doesn't matter, but the fact that you can buy fish for really cheap and that there's a lot of them means that people are gonna replace their fish eventually and that's the truth.

Pretending that all animals lives are the same won't change anything.
KoiBoi 1113
KoiBoi 1113 - 6 years ago
I understand what you are saying, one must do their best, within their means, to help the pet. This must have been quite expensive. In that case I would have likely just let the fish take a natural course, knowing I would not be able to do the procedure.
Hannah Renee
Hannah Renee - 6 years ago
Chin Nation Like honestly, if you hate animals so much, why would you even click on a video about an animal being saved? Just so you can be immature and make some stupid comment on it? Or were you hoping to see the animal suffer? Really, Grow. Up. Such a heartless disgusting child.
Hannah Renee
Hannah Renee - 6 years ago
Chin Nation People like you are truly disgusting. Loved pets are like family members. They are not something you just throw away and go get a new one of when it gets sick. I'm dealing with a sick betta right now who's on his road to recovery. I've spent a lot of time and money treating him, and it's finally paying off because he's recovering nicely. My betta cost me $150 with $95 shipping from Thailand to America. So not only would it be too expensive to just replace, but I love him way to much to even have that as an option. There are people who love animals and will take care of their pets, then there's disgusting psychopaths who will just let their pets die, like you. No heart. I hope you never own any pets, or even kids for that matter. Children are replaceable too you know. Kill one, have another! Your way of thinking is disgusting. Grow up.

Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
Mr. Purple Ok here we go again. When I say most people it's literally most people. Die hard fish lovers are small percentages, but you guys are loud tho like the vegans. You have to ask yourself this, do you think most people will go to such length to try saving that dying fish? And hope you don't accidentally messed up in the progress. Buying all the equipments and Fish Vetting Medicines...Idk how much it cost or if it's easily available.

Because honestly I do not think so. It's just won't make sense because the world is much crueler than that.
Mr. Purple
Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Offense is always taken Never given We didn't miss the point at all... if you see the first post he says that "most people" would just get another fish over trying to save the other one. That just shows how little he cares, and if you have a pet you shouldn't think of said pet like that. You don't need to go to a vet but you shouldn't just go out and buy a new fish and let the other die.
Mr. Purple
Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Chin Nation Chin Nation I'm not misinterpreting anything. You're either using poor word choice or aren't understand what you are typing.

Yes all animals are physically "replaceable" (not the same being but the same species) I had assumed you meant emotionally replaceable because you talked about how dogs and cats weren't.

Also nobody should "dump their old pets" and you don't need to travel to a fish surgeon but actively attempt to medicate them and save them.

You also don't have enough knowledge of fish keeping to say they don't show signs of sickness because they do.

Simply because there are many fish available doesn't mean you can treat them badly. It should matter to you what happens to those fish and if it doesn't matter to you there isn't any point continuing this "debate"
ALT KNIGHT
ALT KNIGHT - 7 years ago
Wow people I'm a fish keeper but you missed the original point chin was making. MOST people wouldn't take their fish to a specialised vet. You and I know that is the truth whether you do or think people should is another matter.

Let's be honest, I was more upset when my dogs and cats in my life have passed way then my fish and this is coming from someone that just lost his favourite fish, a Oscar because it decided to commit suicide by jumping out of his tank. Yeah I'm upset he died but not on the same level as my mammal pets if that makes sense.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
Mr. Purple I think I came to this conclusion that we're probably thinking in different terms here. Fishes are replaceable...Physically, but the "Attachment" you Fish/Animal Lovers have for them yes is irreplaceable. However, some can still argue that with time it can be, but i'm not going into that.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
Mr. Purple Let me summarize all my points because you miss interpreted everything I've tried to get across. First, I said most people will end up dumping the old fish than trying to save it by traveling miles in hope for the fish Surgeons. That's inevitable as you can see.

Then I end up arguing that fish are different from Dogs/Cats because they can drop hints when they're sick and there's veterinarians more widely available than fish surgeons. Later, we move to fish being replaceable. There's dollar gold fishes everywhere and I made a point of how you just buy them easily and no one will care what will happened to them. I remember going to a festival where we can scope out fishes for fun and keep as pet and I seen many people throwing it away.

Finally, I argue having priorities are better. It makes life easier, you can't care for everyone and you can't save everyone. I'm just stating what's happening in the world and you people let emotions take the better of your judgement. One more thing, spare me lecture of it's your responsibility if you took that fish in. Again, I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I will waste my money to go get myself fish pets.
Mr. Purple
Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Chin Nation I'm arguing so obviously people (with hearts) do care. You said that fish are replaceable. My point is that they aren't. You said things such as how you shouldn't bother to care for your fish when you can just buy another one. That isn't a way to look at any pet, you took that pet under your responsibility, they had no say. So you have an obligation to treat that pet as best as you possibly can. If you don't care about what happens to your pet don't get a pet.

Luna Dragneel
Luna Dragneel - 7 years ago
Human's are animals, and no life is any less then another, I value all life the same, to be human's are equal to ants, fish, dogs, cats, cows, all other life, we're no better then anything else with a heartbeat, and if people actually cared about the other life on this planet other then themselves humans would be less selfish and cruel. No life is replaceable, you'll never get the same fish that you had, they'd have different personalities, different markings, etc. no two lifeforms are the same and therefore no two lifeforms are 'replaceable'. Just please never be a pet owner if you have those horrible views towards life.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
Mr. Purple Ohh you're different because the people before you are pissed. Have you read the previous comments? I'm just stating the obvious and they're all up my shit. Now the mistreatment of animal, I don't know how you came to this conclusion that i'm doing this on my spare time. I only said you can buy all the fishes and throw them out to prove a point that rest of the world don't care. All this pointless argument easily label me as the bad guy, but i'm sure you're smart enough to know this just misunderstand between you and I.
Mr. Purple

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Chin Nation where they "rank" as you put it, doesn't matter. If you're going to be taking an animal, a living life, as a pet. You should be treating said pet as best as you can. The fact that you think your life is less important than theirs doesn't justify mistreating them.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
Mr. Purple you don't need to know much about fish to realize fish fucking die a pointless death like insects. In this world there's this priorities. I'm sure fish rank lower than dogs/cats that is why they're different. And animal rank lower than Humans. Some people yes you guys think animals above everything else, so be it. But if you're going cry for every single animal do it somewhere else. Y'all getting angry on someone who's pointing on what inevitably happens to these animal everyday.

Mr. Purple
Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Chin Nation You obviously know nothing about fish which is why you decided to make these comments. And yes you can go out to the store and buy a bunch of fish and kill them, but you could essentially do that with any other animal, although it's obviously not moral and very cruel to do that. Your main point is a disgusting way to think. You don't think of animals as replaceable, they are just as irreplaceable as every other living being on the earth. They aren't toys, they're lives. Every life has value however short.
Luna Dragneel
Luna Dragneel - 7 years ago
I'm not a fucking animal activist, I just have a heart, something you obviously don't, I actually care about things, seriously I'm not "Triggered" I'm just pissed off that there's people like you out there, not a single caring nature about ya.

Maddie Heartfilia- Dragneel oh man, go cry me a fucking ocean maybe you'll create a new home for the fishes to live in. Free from us evil humans. You'll be a hero.

Luna Dragneel
Luna Dragneel - 7 years ago
Oh Yeah fish are replaceable, they die you can easily buy another.. hmm just like a dog or cat, they die you can buy another, they:re just as "Replaceable" honestly, some people actually love their fish just as much as a dog or cat owner love their dogs, I'm both a dog and fish owner, and I love all of them equally, I'd cry just as much when my fish dies as I will when my dog dies, they're not just objects for show in your living room, they're life, they have a heart, just because they're small and have a fairly short life doesn't make them some replaceable object. The reason why this world is so "Cold" is because there's dipshits like you out there.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Lindsey Badder Lol, getting angry here? I can say same thing to you. I disagree, so your opinion is shitty too right? Fish is REPLACEABLE sweetheart. What's there to stop me from going to varieties of stores, buy them fishes and toss it out? The stores don't give a fuck, they made their money. There's no system in place to verify the person is an expert fish care. Haha, do yourself a favor and realize it's a cold world out there for both humans and animals.
Lindsey Badder
Lindsey Badder - 7 years ago
that's the problem with you...you're stating your shitty opinion as fact...which it's not. There are a bunch of people on here proving that to them fish aren't just replaceable and yet you're still trying to say that your opinion is "right". Do us all a favor and don't own animals.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Kathy Sonen We've already conclude that. I agreed that all deaths have a reason if you can recall that or check back if you must. The real question is how is this related to my main point.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Kathy Sonen
You think I'm spreading misinformation? On what? Pointing out the reality of what happens to a poor dying fish in most cases? The reality that most people won't bother wasting resources on trying to save a dying fish over getting a new one? You're here arguing a different point on preventing future fish deaths or fish died because the water is bad.

I'm sorry that other hardcore fish keepers come and see this comment that most fishes don't get live happily like theirs. And then they try to argue otherwise, although it's pointless because those fishes out there died anyway.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Kathy Sonen Alright, all deaths have a reason I got it. I'm sure your info is useful, but not here because I don't have fishes anyway, well not in my responsibility at least.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Kathy Sonen And if google Fish die out of nowhere you'll get many reports in this case. Yes, these people follow all the step you just listed and everything goes well. It only takes one short night of a tiny thing that went wrong and they all DIE. Yes yes, all these expert steps to prevent fish deaths, I don't know why we're even arguing about this anyway. It's kind of unrelated to my main point. Y'all just need to accept fishes die all the time and most if not all are replaceable. It's a cold hard truth, if not then go and try to save the entire Ocean because you're not going to convince me.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Mr. Purple I disagree, they are not the same. At least Cats and Dogs can give you hints if their sick...Fishes they just straight up die out of nowhere. Yes maybe you hardcore fish experts can immediately tell what's wrong. And even you manage to tell what's wrong, Fish Surgeons aren't widely available like Cats/Dogs vets.
Mr. Purple
Mr. Purple - 7 years ago
Chin Nation yes pets die, that's unavoidable, but they are not disposable. I don't understand your logic here and you can't compare dogs and cats to fish because they are essentially the same, go to a shelter and see all the dogs and cats available to you, just as easy to get as a fish. There is no excuse to treating any animal that you take home as a pet badly. If said fish is sick, treat them as best as you can and if it's fatal, humanely euthanize. But you shouldn't not care because it's easy to get another fish. If you didn't care for your fish then you shouldn't have gotten a pet at all.
Chin Nation
Chin Nation - 7 years ago
+Lindsey Badder You're describing very situational case here. Thousands dollar fish then maybe it's worth driving 50-100 miles to the possible nearest fish surgeon and pay for their fees.

Got that right. I literally got into a fist fight, as in I actually punched my own sister in the face, over a dispute that began because of her treatment of my niece's betta fish. Not proud that it ended in phys. altercation...but I'm an unapologetic, militant vegetarian, and I won't stand for anyone (family included) treating animals as disposable. If you aren't willing to do prior research BEFORE trying to care for a pet, well, then perhaps you don't need one in the first place. Fish (bettas included) need cycled tanks BEFORE they come home w/you. And if you can't afford a master water test kit, well, then you can't afford to have a fish. Period.

Yes actually, either they have special lungs and still either way they need oxygen through microscopic bubbles in the water
jewelscorp19
jewelscorp19 - 7 years ago
Bettas have specialised labyrinth organs which allows them to take in oxygen from the air. So when they're recovering from the anesthesia, you can't always count on them to breathe by themselves so you have like "back-up" sources of O2. Same when a dog/cat is recovering from anesthesia, they're always connected to an oxygen machine until they're capable of breathing by themselves. Hope that helps :)

rickybobbychuva
rickybobbychuva - 7 years ago
Actually, I'm sure it definitely cost less than 1500 USD. Cost really depends on the time taken as well as the equipment and the supplies used to diagnose and treat. Of course, many people wouldn't pay a professional so much money for their fish. The best thing most people can do is to look online and talk to aquatic hobbyists with lots of experience.
