Here is a small video of my tank. I was hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having. The big male albino zebra has a tumor of sorts on his lip that seems to be getting larger. Any type of treatment for this? in a spot of the video you can kinda see it. and let me know what you think of the tank

Frequent water changes will help.

Are you sure it's a tumor and not a bump from digging? Do you have a pic of it? Lip tumors have no specific treatment and will go away when the lifecycle has ended. Your best defense is going to be very clean water and time. The desease is spread easily so QT would be a good idea. A lot of times the tumors will cause secondary bacterial or fungal infections so be ready to medicate secondary infections.

Well ive got a QT tank being setup today. Thank you for the help, I was beginning to think this site was helpless. Myself and My husband had no idea what to do. We were going to treat with melafix/pimafix and raise the temp up to about 82

Melafix wouldn't hurt but I'm not sure it will do much good either.
