    my pb tang has lumps in his abdomen and im not sure if its anything to worry about or not. he swims fine eats well and is very active. he does not seem to be sick or anything but i just want to be sure he is ok. what do you all think?

    not your new one? well all i can think of is that he was skinny beyond the point of return and lost his ability to digest food, happens with madarins all the time. but that seems to be worst case scenario and probably isnt what it is. besides your tang was healthy when you got it?

    He may be skinny. That's when you tend to see stomach lumps.... its the outline of their organs when there isn't enough flesh to "cover it up".

    thought so lol. what do you think does he look skinny? i thought he looks about right but i have never kept one before. he looks about the same as he did when l got him but i see him everyday so its a little harder to tell.
