RE: [GSAS-Member] growth on eye pedicle, tank needed

["matt kaufman" <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

Hard to diagnose remotely (a picture perhaps might help). It might just be 
healing from a scrape. If it's acting normally and not scratching at it by 
rubbing int rocks or whatever, it's probably fine. If the fish starts 
'paying attention' to the growth it might be best to isolate it and figure 
out a treatment. WHen you say the fish was 'near death', what was going on? 
Texas cichlids can be boisterous and being scraped up isn't unusual for them 
when fighting with other fish, or rocks, or heaters, or whatever they decide 
annoys them (fingers, glass walls, lids...)
