Hi Dr Novak. Would you be able to share any advice on how to treat tumours and growths on goldfish. My fish are doing quite well on the anoxic filtration system. However, there was a time a couple of years back my tank had cracked twice in a row and took some time to get repaired and my anoxic system had not yet matured so my fish had to stay in a 60litre plastic basin which probably caused them stress and started the growth of the tumor. Two of my fish developed this and it isn't clearing up with either the malachite green or methylene blue. I have started applying hydrogen peroxide directly on the growth once a week since the last 3 weeks and the fish seem to be doing better with it but the growth isn't showing any signs of shrinking yet. Could you advise if there is any other treatment I could try.
