I have 2 fantails that are over 8 years old. The larger one has a growth on his head. It looks like a blister. Not sure what it is...Appears healthy otherwise, as does his tank mate. I've had these guys so long I';d hate to see one of them sick. Any suggestions? THANKS!!! Jimmy G

Are you positive he isn't an oranda goldfish?

I'm sure...I've had him for over 8 years and it looks like a small blister on one side of his head..about the size of a pea....

Yikes. Well... my second guess would be a tumor? It is a possibility. My guesses are just that, and are based on what comes to mind first.
