• Red growths on the diamond cichlid.

  • Jason9385

For 4 months, a diamond cichlid has been living in the aquarium. About a month ago, red growths started appearing on her lips (both outside and inside), after which another large growth appeared, not even on her lips. I couldn't find anything similar online no matter how much I searched. Also, I don't know how to explain it properly, but when this thing appeared on her lips, she and one orange zebra constantly seem to be "kissing," creating the impression that the zebra is trying to bite off these growths from the cichlid. However, I'm not sure what is the cause and what is the effect. In general, I feel very sorry for the fish and want to help her... please advise!!! P.S. Unfortunately, the photo was taken with a phone, and I don't have anything else available for now. If it doesn't help, I'll borrow a proper camera from a friend in a couple of days and post other photos.
