i preformed a sort of brain surgery on the african cichlid i took him out of the tank and put him in a bowel with some water from the tank and put ick med and stress coat in the water then i pressed from behind the lump forward and it came out of the hole, that kind of made him look like he was growing a third eye. what came out can only be describe as some sort of tumor. he is happier now and swimming around. the swelling has gone down and he is no longer slow and swimming on his side. as long as it does not get infected or anything i think he will make a full recovery. i will keep you all posted and thanks so much for the help

Now that you have done that, can I suggest you treat the area with iodine to help prevent infection?
