Black Moor Goldfish - Cancer?

My fish has a large growth on his back near his top fin... what could this be?

He has had it for about 5 months now and it seems to be doubling in size every couple of days.

He is very active and healthy other than the mass.

Please help save my fish?

--- WELL... people have asked if my fish made it. He lasted about 6 months in this state, then the growth eventually got so large that he flipped over and was swimming and eating upside down!!!! Not Cool!

Unfortunately, I had to put him to sleep. I was told through a vet (animal doctor) to use CLOVE OIL. I purchased a $5 bottle through a drug store and use the whole bottom is about 1/2 a gallon of water. I place him in the water and he went to sleep in about 1/2 hour. It was sad, since I had him for 2.5 years!

He was very healthy up until the growth and for those that have asked about how I got his fins so big... he was a normal healthy Black Moor bought at a fish store and he grow that way. :)

sorry to hear about your loss. i respect your decision, but had it been me, i would have surgically removed the tumor. likelihood of survival would still be rather low, but it may have viven him a chance.
