i've posed this on a few different pages and haven't gotten an answer 🙁 i love my girl Echo so much. she got pinned between the filter and the wall in a new bow front tank i got her a month ago while we were asleep. i woke up and freed her and she was lethargic but seemed fine a few hours later. i've since then moved her back to her original SAFE tank. now she has this bulge on her side and her scales look like they're popping out, and it's swollen.

Would she benefit from kanaplex? does anyone know how i can help her?

She seems like her normal active self, but im still so worried. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  1. her water parameters are as they should be, she has driftwood, a catappa leaf, and only real plants (a lot)

  2. Looks like a cyst or growth, not much you can do if activity and feeding is okay, nothing to worry about. The species is over inbred so the genetics are prone to such cases, just look at the forum there are submissions daily asking for advice!
