Does anyone know if fish other than angel fish can get lip fibromas? A few months ago I had a female Congo tetra with a huge growth on her lower lip. At first I thought she had a snail shell caught in her mouth. She obviously couldn’t eat so we tried cutting it off but she died the next day. Yesterday I had a purple emperor tetra from the same tank with a very similar protruding lower lip. Has anyone ever seen this before? Or know what might be causing it? Thanks, Mark

Hi there, sorry about the slow response. I've seen this but having a hard time remember what the cause was.
Do you think its the jaw or an infection?
Try a search of the forum and Carl who's an expert should be coming around soon to help.
Sorry for the loss of the fish.

Thanks for the info, I hope it doesn’t happen again. So far the rest of the tank looks fine. Don’t worry about the response time. Everyone is busy with many things and fish are not always the most important.
