Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / February 2007young goldfish defect
Defect may not be the correct word (depends on your outlook maybe). I have a young goldfish (< 1 year) which, as best as I can tell, has its intestine sticking out of its butt about a cm. Not sure when this happened, but it has been noticable for about a month or so. Apart from being a little unsightly this fish seems to be perfectly healthy and is growing very quickly. Has anyone else seen this before? vYv if it truly is intestine, http://www.weloveteaching.com/puregold/disease/symptom/anal_port.html but it could be poop hanging out, maybe a worm hanging out, maybe a tumor of some kind. pictures are needed.

Ingrid Definitely not feces or a worm. Doesn't look anything like that picture either. I don't have a digital camera but, what I see is a normal looking juvenile fish (about 4 cm tip to tip) with a white tube-like protrusion about a cm long an a mm wide coming from its anus. Its feces even look normal... except for the fact that they come out of the end of this tube. I'm thinking that it's something like a kind of fishy hernia but don't know for sure. vYv > On Tue, 16 Jan 2007 07:57:53 +0000, dr-solo wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > vYv well if it's not the rude bits droppin before spawning, it may well be a prolapsed rectum. Common causes include an internal tumor, ball of worms or serious blockage (pooing normal so not likely) As long as allz good I wouldn't worry. Maybe worm it but if it goes down hill put it down hey |
