Thanks, Ingrid - I was afraid of that - just needed someone to verify it -
fish is not swimming as well now, struggling a bit, balance off a bit and
bigger than ever - will let nature decide when he or she passes on
Thanks again - Gale :~)
OK.. I saw it. that has got to be a very slow growing tumor. dropsy
will kill em
fast. egg binding will kill em fast. I really dont think there is
anything you can
do. Ingrid

I have a goldfish ~ 8yrs old that keeps growing larger and is not
dropsy
(I
don't think - no pine cone effect) - been growing like this for 2-1/2
yrs -
looks like a football and just keeps getting bigger - if it is
egg-bound
what do you suggest - I thought it was maybe a tumour of some kind and
actually thought it would have "passed on" before now - I would love
to
save
it if possible

Gale :~)
