I've had two ADFs for about 8 months now. I've been under the impression that I have a male and female based on what I've read and seen (one is darker and thinner looking with white spots under his arms and the other is lighter, flatter and more round without the spots). About 2.5-3 weeks ago I noticed a lump on the female's back. No lesion or wound on the skin, just a hard lump under the skin. There are now 3 lumps and they seem to move in correlation with her legs when she swims around. She's still eating and very active. For lack of a better description, they look like bones that didn't have enough room so they snapped and created these hard, pointy lumps under her skin. They live in a 20 gal long, planted, heated, filtered and are fed a variety of frozen foods (blood worms, brine shrimp, etc) Water parameters are good and visually there are no problems other than the lumps. The gravel is too large to eat and I don't think this is something stuck internally as I assume she would've stopped eating a while ago if nothing was passing through. Any ideas?
