Its sure nice to know all the facts before trying to figure out whats
wrong....No telling what the tumors are causing...I do not think
tumnors have any resemblence to a sunburn area though........I think I
would have passed on a fish with sunburn. I donl;t know if they can or
not get sunburn, but why by a pig in a poke when one without the poke
that you can see costs the same.........Does your pond have parasites?
If not, why shotgun treat it and stress fish even more..........Clear
tons of water does stl not mean water parameters are good.........
