TumourI have not open this fish for a more detail view for the camera as it was the clients wish that the fish's body remained whole and untouched as the fish had been a friend for many years.

The tumor completely involved the throat.

TumourAn unidentified tumour attached to the body wall, and affecting no internal organs.

This fish is a male, so there may be a link to the gonads.


Ovarian TumourOvarian tumours in the latter stages show a distinct anal swelling not the fat round appearance of a fish carrying eggs
Cell TumourKnown as cell tumours, nothing is known of their origin.

They grow at a staggering rate. These pictures show a cell tumour which came from nothing to such a large size in only 6 weeks.

They are always fatal. Once a tumour shows itself, the fish is beyond treatment.Cell Tumourbest pic ive seen of a full blown ovarian tumor

Gonad TumourA male fish with the largest tumor of the gonads I've ever seen.

Note the abdominal cavity is swamped with blood. This fish was in it's last hours, but was still feeding. There is still food in the intestines, as pellets are still visible.Gonad Tumour

You can see the fish on the "fat fish" page.
