i just bought an id shark and it has like 4 or 5 bumps on it. the bumps kinda look like warts or something but are the same colour as the shark itself...
is it normal? ive never had an id shark before.
if not what is it and how do i treat it?

bubbles?
well i dont know about such sharks but i do know there is a disease called bubble sickness(in swedish)
the fish gets bumps and stuff under the skin(air bubbles)
this can be caused by lots of air being pressed down by force in the water or of water have been heated up to fast(when heated)

what is the scientific name?
I don't know what an ID shark is

thanks guys but the shark has passed

only 1 day in my possesion .....
i am not sure the sceintific name, but i will try to find a link on the net for him... he was pretty cool looking and only grew 18 inches, which is very conveinient for a shark.

And pls provide pix if you can.. even from another specimen. It would help to see what these so-called bumps are..

sorry to hear of your loss - contact the shop and request a refund

I cant see anything but blur

I see nice cute, pink, girly-girl gravel.

When or if you do decide to bring it back to the LFS for refund.. give them a sample of your water, a clearer picture, your reciept, or see to it if any of the other inhabitants in the tank where your shark was housed in have that same disease. This would be requirred when arguing about any death with a fish within 2-5 days after fish was bought.

The fish looks like a irridesent shark out of asia. The bumps would not be normal but without seeing them hard to say what they were.
