Anyone know what's wrong with this fish?

He has been like this for a month. Eats well, shows no sign of being ill. Just these big bag like tumors that appear to be growing out of his gill area.

Can't catch him, thought he would ber dead by now.

OMG... sorry I can't help ya. Good luck with it though. That would freak me out so much it would take everything I have in me to keep from catching the fish and pulling them off. (don't do that)

Hopefully some experts will chime in.

Hey Todd:

Sorry to hear about your fish...it has me stumped too.

You should make a post on the "Fish Disease Treatment" Forum at ReefCentral; there is bound to be someone there that know what your fish is suffering from:

Good luck; let us know how it goes.

HTH,

BTW: Is that a Cardinal? I have seen that type of fish before, but I can't remember the name...

Thanks - I will try on the main side first. I still have not figured out how to post pictures there and the size limit is ridiculously small. The site is a pain in the ass to work with.
