	Raised Bumps on Silver Dollars
pezgurl Enthusiast Posts: 212 Kudos: 21 Votes: 2 Registered: 03-Jan-2002	I just bought some silver dollars from my LFS and noticed that a couple of them have one or two very small raised bumps on their sides. They are all eating fine, and don't scrape up onto any of the decorations etc. I did some research but couldnt find anything that looked remotely like what they have. It has no discoloration, mucus, or visible parasites at all, you probably wouldnt even notice unless you took a close look. Anyone seen anything like that before? ~Pezgurl

Also take a good water sample with you just in case you could have a water problem. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
